On the occasion of the International Women’s day in the Asylum center Bogovadja, in cooperation with the Red Cross Belgrade, Caritas organised a celebration of the 8th of March – a day of fight for the economic, political and social equality of women and men. Through a conversation and discussion the beneficiaries of the Asylum center Bogovadja were reminded of the importance of the fight of Clara Zetkin, Luize Zietz, Alexandra Kollontai and other strong women who stood up for the equality of rights of genders in the modern world. They were also presented with the fact why it’s so important to speak about women’s rights and provide support in setting up a system of equality and social justice.

Thanks to the dedicate work of children the rooms of the Asylum center Bogovadja were decorated, while greeting cards, flowers and bracelets made will stay a sign and reminder that a long fight for the equalisation of rights and better and safer future is still an issue. The fight started from brave idealist women in the time of general social inequality has to be a lodestar and motivation that the mankind has to fight for human rights and freedom every day.

With the support of the international Caritas network, Caritas Germany, German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Caritas Ambrosiana and IPSIA ACLI since 2016 Caritas Valjevo is present with its activities in the Asylum center Bogovadja.
