Women Councilors in Serbia mobilize for gender equality

Women Councilors Networks in Serbia, recently established with the support of UN Women, have started taking action across the country, especially in the most underdeveloped and disadvantaged communities, to overcome patriarchal and traditional norms and empower women to uplift their communities. The video features an initiative by the Women Councilors Network in Svrljig, a predominantly agricultural town, to encourage organic farming among rural women to boost their economic opportunities and income. The video has been produced within the UN Women and UNOPS programme, and through European PROGRES, with the support of the European Union and Swiss Government.
