Description

The Radar project will increase the capacities of eight org. that work in the field of reproductive rights through activities that include: training CSOs to monitor breeches in women’s reproductive rights, preparing comparative reports on judicial practices in Croatia compared to international standards, filing strategic litigation, researching the extent to which professional standards are adhered to, participative workshops, organising an Edit-a-Thon, preparing a draft document for women’s health, workshops on international mechanisms and the preparation of shadow reports, shadow reports on the status of women’s rights in reproductive healthcare, a public campaign, program development and train-the-trainer workshops on techniques for Master Suppression Techniques and countering them and the preparation of a tool for countering these techniques. The project’s aim is to strengthen the advocacy capacities of CSOs to reposition women’s health from being a medical issue to being a human rights issue. The specific aims are: to increase the capacities of CSOs for strategic litigation in the field of women’s reproductive rights, to strengthen CSOs to advocate for evidence-based women’s reproductive rights, to develop mechanisms for a stronger role of CSOs in the protection of women’s human rights. The target groups are CSOs that work with women, including those that work with women with disabilities, asylum seekers, Roma women and former prisoners who will increase their capacities to advocate for the protection of women’s reproductive rights.
