Our main partners are national and regional CSOs dealing with gender and culture.
To increase visibility and influence of women who, through their work, contribute to the creation of a society of gender equality and by their example encourage socially responsible functioning. Our vision is a society in which decisions are equally made by women, men and all those who do not acknowledge gender as binary, which respects and implements principles of harmony, self-sustainable development and abundance for all.

Vox Feminae Festival is an international and interdisciplinary festival whose focus is to promote national and international female artists and/or groups of artist and in their work which examine clash of contemporary art, urban and alternative culture and gender issues and gender-sensitive social engagement. Video production and Educations - We are producing video reports that deal with women's position on society and provide better visibility of their actions and organizing workshops about new media, the basics of journalism, CMS systems, Social Networks, video production and other.
Organization can increase visibility and influence of Network and it's members by presenting them through established Vox Feminae festival and magazine VoxFeminae.net, and thus attract new members to the Network, as well as making stronger advocacy for gender equality, pluralism and cultural diversity with partners within Network.
We want to join ALF network to increase our visibility and professional status of the organization, and primarily to make new and enforce existing connections and networks with the organizations in region that have similar mission and vision as ours. We are creating a regional Platform for feminist and gender cultural practices which aims to expand to other European and Mediteranian countries to promote know-how exchange of feminist practices in different areas.
