With clear and unambiguous focus on the status of women and improving women’s status in a society, we are raising our voice to condemn the latest case where our fellow colleagues from Women for Peace association from Leskovac have had their rightful status and place in their own city be usurped. As women’s organizations we are not disputing that other associations may also work against domestic violence, and that they have a right to apply to calls for financing projects, but there is a problem when finances for SOS helplines are allocated to an association whose legal representative is a man who has been convicted for domestic violence in 2016.
The International Avon Foundation for Women announced a donation of one million dollars for organizations that fight violence against women worldwide, responding to the information that’s indicating an increasing number of cases of domestic violence, as a masked consequence of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The donation will provide support for organizations from 37 countries, including Serbia. One million dinars will be allocated to the coalition consisting of 26 organizations - Women Against Violence Network, for the benefit of the system providing assistance in the fight against violence.
The Women Against Violence Network wants to warn citizens that in conditions of severe isolation and limitations on public circulation, such as during a state of emergency, an increase in violence against women and children is possible. This is already indicated by the latest case of partner violence, when, according to the media reports from March 19th, A 39-year-old man from a village near Lapovo, shot a 24-year-old girl.
