The primary goal of the workshop was to enhance the Women's Club engagement in creating a forthcoming action plan designed to empower women in Montenegro’s political landscape.
Women in public and political life in Montenegro face sexism, hate speech and threats of violence on a daily basis. This deters women from taking their rightful seats at the decision-making table. To help tackle the problem, WFD organised a campaign with huge reach.
