School for Democracy:

-         Realization of workshops to general population on topic of democracy

 Action - Women from Sveti Nikole for women of Sveti Nikole - May 2003

 Goal of the action

The goal of the action is building connection among the women from different sectors: representatives form NGOs, women branches of political parties, women from workers unions, women form private businesses, individual businesswomen and undertaking mutual actions to actualize the role of women in public and political life.

 Target group

Target group in this action were women from NGOs, women form different political parties, women from workers unions, women from private businesses, and individuals. 55 women participated in the workshops, 200 women form the Municipality were interviewed, and approximately 50 women participants attended the tribune.

 Activities

In the preparatory period were printed 50 white t-shirts with the logo of the action "Women from Sveti Nikole for the women of Sveti Nikole".

On 17 of May was held the first workshop on a topic - Women and politics, which was attended by 28 women representatives form different sectors listed above. Educator of the workshop was Radica Lazarova. The workshop discussed about he position of women in politics, motives that drive women to join politics, the reasons behind the fact that there is small number of women members of political parties, and especially in the leading positions, as well as finding ways how to increase the participation of women in politics. Conclusion from the workshop was that strengthening the women's sections in the political parties is essential, in the same time giving support and encouragement to women in order to achieve increased participation of women in the political parties.

On 18 of May was held the second workshop on a topic - Women and economics that was attended by 27 participants, and educator was Radmila Sandeva. When reviewing the condition of women in the Sveti Nikole economy we came to conclusion that in worst situation are women working in the private textile factories, where large number of them do not have social and health insurance, they are working in unfavorable working conditions for low wages and longer hours than permitted by the Law. The reasons for this situation are the overall bad economic situation in the Municipality on one hand and because most of the women are not aware about their rights as workers. In this regard education of women about their rights is needed and organizing them in order to improve their working conditions.

During the project implementation the active participators performed inquiry among 200 women to gain wider assessment  about the needs of the women in the Municipality.

On 23 May 2003 was organized exhibition of handicrafts and paintings of women from the Municipality. 20 women participated in the exhibition with their own arts, some of them were inspired by the past and the tradition of the Municipality and others were paintings painted in different techniques, flower arts.

On 23 May 2003 was held an tribune in the City Hall of Sveti Nikole Municipality starting at 19:00, and the tribune was attended by 50 women visitors from local NGOs, political parties, workers union and private business.
