“Osna(žena)” – Information Day on Gender-Based Violence

On 12.11.2025, members of the NGO Lea Shelter for Women and Children Victims of Domestic Violence, as part of the “Osna(žena)” project supported by the Municipality of Bar, organised an information day dedicated to raising awareness among women from Bar and Podgorica about gender-based violence.

Particular attention was given to psychological violence against women and girls, including how to recognise it and the consequences it can have on victims’ lives and mental health.

During the activity, women were also informed about the free support resources and services provided by NGO Lea, so that women experiencing violence would know where they can turn for help, support and protection.

Through information sharing and direct conversation, the activity highlighted the importance of recognising violence at an early stage and having access to reliable information as important steps towards empowering women and encouraging them to seek help.
