Description
The key problem is the violation of social and human rights of mothers and pregnant women with addiction due to gender-specific stigma and discrimination which occurs as a result to inadequate social support from public services and lack of cooperation between relevant stakeholders. Reto Center aims at helping pregnant women with addiction by promoting interventions that protect the best interests of the child and respect maternal rights through cross-sectoral cooperation with relevant stakeholders. This project will enable Reto Centre to strengthen its internal capacities to be more efficient in the implementation of the work program.
The key project activities are: i. quantitative research, ii. education and consultancy, iii. public campaign, iv. encouraging and involving young people from helping professions in volunteering, v. strengthening and capacity building of the organization. The applicant will ensure adequate implementation of the project and the achievement of targeted results. The partner will transfer experience and knowledge on integrative treatment in Norway. Special emphasis in the project is placed on wide and effective dissemination of scientific data regarding benefits of integrative treatment and its multiplier effect in public and other policies with significant potential for transferability to other local communities. Having in mind the lack of strategic governance of social policy regarding women in the risk of addiction, we believe that the implementation of the proposed project will have a significant impact on achieving long-term positive social changes in the selected priority program area.
