Samopouzdanje - Self-confidence
This page has been automatically translated. The German version is authoritative. Thank you for your understanding.
Although Bosnia and Herzegovina has ratified the CEDAW Women's Rights Convention, women and girls are disadvantaged and marginalised in all areas of life.
They are under great pressure to fulfil traditional role models. These contradict the requirements of the labour market, where young women should sell themselves well and defend their position.
The project "Samopouzdanje - Self-confidence" supports women on various levels: Through psychosocial empowerment, the young women improve their self-confidence and self-esteem and thus acquire important "soft skills" for the labour market. Key competences are learnt and practised. The project participants put the knowledge and skills they have acquired into practice by passing on their knowledge to peer groups from local women's organisations. In addition, the public and professionals are sensitised to discrimination against girls and young women.
The project enables participants to take their lives into their own hands, weigh up their options and make and implement decisions. It supports them in their individual development as well as in actively engaging with their social environment.
