Brève description de votre organisation:

EsFem is an independent feministic NGO, which started its activities in November 1999. The organization deals primarily with the issues of human rights of women and policies of gender equality. Areas of our Interest: Increase gender sensitivity, Gender equality in education, Feminist pedagogy, Gender research and analysis, Human rights of girls and women, Gender equality on the labour market, Active fatherhood, Men’s studies, Gender mainstreaming. Our project on working with children and young people was included among the final suggestions for national governments at the meeting of the Information Forum of the European Council „ Human Rights of Girls and Women“, held in Bratislava in 2000, as an appropriate type of gender stereotypes elimination activities.

It is precisely the fight for women rights which rival movements fighting for their nation’s autonomy had in common in the 19th century. This is why the campaign will peak with the go fish deck called WOMEN WITHOUT BORDERS, designed primarily but not uniquely for inhabitants of Slovakia. It will contain quartets of women who fought for human rights of women coming from ethnic minorities who live in Slovakia. The minorities we have chosen for the deck are the largest ones in Slovakia: HUNGARIAN, ROMA, CZECH and MORAVIAN, RUTHENIAN and UKRAINIAN, GERMAN, POLISH. The JEWISH minority has also been included, although not very large these days because of its persecution in WWII, it has had its share in culture and education development of the country. The last of the nationalities is SLOVAK.

Card decks will be issued in two languages, namely Slovak and English. Promotion could include the discussion seminars in Prešov and Bratislava.

We will present the project to the public on March (May) with information about outstanding female figures who have strived for culture development and some of who have fought for women rights. Their names have been erased from national textbooks and encyclopedias and have been “forgotten”. What different countries and nationalities have in common is the struggle for freedom and human rights. This is why the discussion seminars UNKNOWN SLOVAK WOMEN will present the Slovak culture for other nationalities, emphasis will be put on shared aspects of History. And followed by the WOMEN WITHOUT BORDERS card game presentations and the press conference in May, which would conclude the campaign (discussion seminars for university, high school students and public in Prešov and in Bratislava at least; and press conference in Prešov).
