This report provides a summary of a four-day training course on self-advocacy for Roma girls, women and feminist activists from North Macedonia held by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) from 22 March to 25 March 2022.

Hate-motivated incidents are often violent manifestations of intolerance which instill fear and divide communities. Tackling underlying prejudice is essential in combating the spread of these divisive actions. The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina supports the work of government institutions, the criminal justice system, local authorities and civil society to effectively respond to these incidents. The 'Hate Monitor' provides a monthly update on incidents and responses throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

From 22 to 25 March 20220, in Skopje, North Macedonia. ATTENTION: The deadline has been extended until 10 March, 23:59 CET. This training will bring together about 15-20 young Roma women from North Macedonia. The training seeks to reflect on and analyse the obstacles, needs, and current challenges young Roma women face in their communities and to empower women from under-represented groups to find their voice and engage in self-advocacy and advocacy for the rights of other women from under-represented groups.
