The civic association Mo\u017enos\u0165 vo\u013eby (Freedom of Choice) was founded in 2001 as a broad initiative of organizations and individuals aimed at preserving standards of sexual and reproductive rights and health in Slovakia. Over time, our work has increasingly focused on the topic of gender-based violence, the use of a gender perspective in public policy, and gender training. To date, we have carried out more than 40 successful projects in these areas.<\/p>\n

Since our founding, we have worked systematically to improve the protection of women’s reproductive rights and health in Slovakia.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc9c In 2023, we launched a support line<\/a> to make access to safe abortion easier.<\/p>\n

Besides reproductive health, we are also active in other areas:
\n\u2705 we work on preventing gender-based violence and on incorporating a gender perspective into public policy;
\n\u2705 we respond to political decisions with discriminatory consequences and put forward proposals for change;
\n\u2705 we comment on legislative materials, organize mass reminders and public protests, conduct research, monitor the situation, and inform the public and international communities about it;
\n\u2705 we maintain a dialogue with state and civic institutions and politicians, and work within executive bodies. Members of Mo\u017enos\u0165 vo\u013eby actively participate in meetings of the Government Council of the Slovak Republic for Human Rights, National Minorities, and Gender Equality;
\n\u2705 to strengthen people’s engagement in protecting human rights and to improve their gender and civic competencies, we carry out educational activities and informational gender training. Mo\u017enos\u0165 vo\u013eby is the organization with the most experience in delivering gender education for adults in Slovakia, and with the broadest portfolio of educational programs (gender training specializing in advocacy, sexual and reproductive rights, gender-based violence, CEDAW, the Istanbul Convention, and other topics). Our graduates come from a wide range of population groups: helping professions, non-governmental organizations, the teaching community, journalists, students, politicians, people working in PR, and state and civic institutions, among others. For people who have completed our training, we have created an “Alumni” program, through which we continue to develop cooperation and provide mutual support in work on gender equality and sexual and reproductive rights.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcd1 In our work, we rely firmly on international human rights conventions and promote solutions aimed at achieving gender equality and protecting human rights as key social values. It is the dream and goal of our members that Slovakia be a fair and caring country where all people can live with dignity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
