Still summing up insights and impressions from our 3-day study visit with 30+ participants from 11 West Balkan municipalities that took place in Leskovac almost 10 days ago! We are glad we recognized a crucial need for this regional event, uniting experts in social protection and domestic violence at Leskovac. They shared experiences and solutions, emphasizing victim care and empowerment.
Practical workshops and discussions highlighted key topics for the next stage of project – training for the service providers, employees of the shelters, that are on the first line of defense: burnout, work with children with trauma, stress relief tools.
But our work doesn’t stop here. Other topics that are raised include:
Discussions on this level have never happened before, we are glad to have set the first example, but what is the call for the decision makers in the region? What are the common topics we should continue opening? Help us by giving your suggestions and we will try to put the spotlight on the most urgent ones.
Let’s keep the dialogue going and push for change!
