Description

In this project, we are setting up the Solidarity Feminist Centre (SFC). This is an open, safe, libertarian and equality space, primarily aimed at women, LGBTQ+ people, human rights activists from different countries, migrant and refugee women. We will launch the SFC after a pilot stage, taking into account findings and evaluations from the pilot. The centre will be run by people from Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, among others. Due to the difficult situation of equality organisations in Poland and the repression of women activists in Belarus, there is the need to create a place that will help them continue their activities as well as enable networking and cooperation. The aim of the Centre is to broadly educate about human rights and to increase the availability of an offer through which people in need will receive support and gain useful knowledge about, among other things, violence prevention, assertiveness, supportive spaces and other issues related to empowerment and anti-discrimination. Our partners: Stelpur Rokka! from Iceland and Karioka GRC Beskidy support us in the organisation of a rock camp and a final concert, the idea of which is to support women in decision-making and self-confidence through music and equality education tools.
