This project is of great importance for women and girls who face many life problems and challenges, such as various forms of violence, burnout at work, and misunderstanding in the work and family environment. This project will contribute to the psychological and physical balance of 25 women of different ages and socioeconomic statuses from the area of the Mostar city.

Through thematic sessions, participants will be trained to assess the relationship they are in with their partners, friends and colleagues, recognize threats, learn to set healthy boundaries and thus protect their mental and physical health. They will also be encouraged and taught how to ask for legal support, counselling and psychological assistance, and also to provide support other women may be in need of. Finally, the project will contribute to encouraging women to take an active role in supporting other women and in the processes leading to the improvement of living conditions in the environments in which they live. The exchange of knowledge and experience through solidarity channels of communication will contribute to a sense of acceptance and solidarity among women.
