Bulgaria

People&Borders Foundation is established in South-West part of Bulgaria, where population is multi-ethnic (Bulgarians, Roma, muslim minorities). The situation of women in the area is characterised with strong patriarchal model, especially for women from muslim minorities. There is lack of sensitiveness, knowledge and understanding of gender issues not only among citizens but also among authorities. As a result women and especially women and young girls from from minority groups are not representing in decision making bodies, Gender mainstreaming policy does not exist at local level. This situation reiterates the patriarchal stereotypes and the voice of women from different minority groups is not part of the agenda of local parliaments. Problems like VAW, incl. DV, Trafficking in women and girls, early marriages, early school exclusion, discrimination on the labor market, etc. are still exists and some of them are among the hidden phenomenon and undiscussed topics.

One of the main objective of organisation is to create favorable condition for achieving gender equality and support women and girls from all groups to achieve Women's Human Rights and economic independent through education, advocacy campaigns, networking and civil dialogue with authorities.
We work for raising sensitiveness and understanding on equality between women and men and to initiate the implementation of gender mainstreaming policy at local level. The aims of the Foundation is to breaking stereotypes on positions on women and men and to eradicate Gender based Violence through ensuring equal participation of women in decision making process, advancing women’s sexual and reproductive rights, developing civil dialogues, increasing women’s and girls’ access to education.
