Our advocacy

One of our main goals is to advocate on behalf of people affected by domestic violence in Bulgaria. This is what we've achieved so far:

 

  • We united 37 NGOs in an informal coalition "Together Against Violence"

     

  • We worked tirelessly with politicians and activists to achieve the latest progressive amendments to the Law for protection from domestic violence 

     

  • We ran an awareness-raising campaign for people affected by violence, explaining in plain language the 10 key changes in the law

     

  • We're talking about the issue of domestic violence in our unique podcasts

     

  • We write and issue petitions, positions and declarations on behalf of people affected by domestic violence and in defence of the charity sector that works tirelessly for their rights

     

  • For our advocacy work we received the"Never give up" award by TimeHeroes

     

  • For uniting the charity sector in a powerful coallition and successful advocacy we were acknowledged with the most prestigeous human rights award in Bulgaria "Human of the Year 2023" by the Bulgarian Helsinki committee
