The privatization of factories in Prijepolje after the year 2000 and the wars of the 1990s have changed the lives of women workers in Prijepolje. From a „secure job“ and living in a town which was rapidly developing in the seventies, they came to become a technological surplus and another name in the labor market. Working in factories was the first employment for most of women. Getting outside of houses and working in collectives was a new level of development of their social consciousness. Through interviews with former women workers of factories in Prijepolje, we want to shed a light on that part of the history, how they were losing their jobs, economic status and how they fought to survive. Our aim is to make their stories heard on all the platforms and communication channels owned by our organization: TV, web portal, social media.

Youth is our future and an important factor in creating our reality which is unfortunately not pink. We have to transfer the message that THE HISTORY HAS TO BE REMEMBERED so the future would be built on truth and facts rather than on myths.
