The need for this project arises from a general lack of awareness of partner violence in same-sex relationships in the LBTQ women community and a lack\nof sensitivity and support from state institutions, particularly in the context of Serbia. This project addresses these critical gaps through targeted interventions, focusing on the victims\nand the broader institutional framework responsible for protecting their rights. LBTQ women in Serbia face significant challenges, including widespread discrimination, social\nstigmatization, and limited access to support services. Partner violence is a pervasive issue within this community, yet it remains largely unreported due to fear, mistrust of authorities,\nand the lack of tailored support services. The inadequate response from law enforcement and other relevant institutions further intensifies the vulnerability of LBTQ women, leaving\nthem without the necessary protection and support. This project is designed to address these critical issues by enhancing the capacity of LBTQ women to recognize and report\nviolence while simultaneously working to improve the responsiveness and sensitivity of state institutions. The primary beneficiaries of this project are LBTQ women and LBTQ women\nsurvivors of partner violence across Serbia. These women, often marginalized and underserved, will receive direct support through educational activities and access to an SOS\nhotline. All services and activities will be free of charge, ensuring accessibility for all LBTQ women regardless of class, race, or social status. The secondary beneficiaries include\nrepresentatives of state institutions such as the police, social work centers, the prosecutor’s office, civil society organizations (CSOs), human rights defenders, and activists. These\ngroups will be targeted through training sessions aimed at improving their understanding of LBTQ-specific issues and enhancing their capacity to respond effectively to cases of\npartner violence. Labris will implement a multi-faceted approach to achieve the project’s objectives. Key interventions include Educational Activities: Workshops and training sessions\nfor LBTQ women focused on recognizing the signs of partner violence, understanding their rights, and learning how to report incidents safely and effectively. Capacity Building for\nState Institutions: Training sessions for police officers, social workers, prosecutors, and other relevant stakeholders. Awareness-Raising Campaigns: Public campaigns aimed at\nincreasing awareness of LBTQ partner violence. These campaigns will target the general public and potential victims, to reduce stigma and encourage more survivors to come\nforward. Research: Research to gather data on the prevalence and nature of LBTQ partner violence in Serbia. SOS Hotline: Establishing a dedicated hotline to provide immediate\nsupport, guidance, and emotional assistance to survivors of LBTQ partner violence. The project will be implemented nationally, with activities taking place across various regions in\nSerbia. While the headquarters of Labris is in Belgrade, the project will reach out to LBTQ women in multiple cities and rural areas, ensuring that the interventions are accessible to a\nwide range of beneficiaries. The inclusion of the Local Networks for Prevention of Discrimination and Support for LGBTI Community, established in seven cities (Belgrade, Novi Sad,\nNiš, Novi Pazar, Pancevo, Subotica, and Kragujevac), will be instrumental in decentralizing the project and ensuring broader geographic coverage. The expected outcomes of this\nproject are (1) Increased awareness and recognition of partner violence among LBTQ women, leading to a higher rate of reporting and seeking help and (2) Improved response and\nsupport mechanisms for LBTQ women survivors within state institutions and civil society organizations. By working closely with both marginalized women and the institutions\nresponsible for their protection, Labris aims to create a safer and more inclusive environment where LBTQ women can live free from violence and discrimination. This four-year\nproject, with a budget of 240,000.00, aims to create long-term systemic change in the prevention and elimination of partner violence in LBTQ women relationships in Serbia.","donor":{"amountUSD":53713,"flowCount":1,"id":"17565","label":"UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women","state":"single"},"firstReportedDate":"2025-04-01","flowId":"344013","flowType":"Standard","onBoundary":"single","plan":{"amountUSD":53713,"flowCount":1,"id":null,"label":"Unspecified","state":"missing"},"recipient":{"amountUSD":53713,"flowCount":1,"id":"12131","label":"Labris – Lesbian Human Rights Organization","state":"single"},"refCode":"27_21285","sector":{"amountUSD":53713,"flowCount":1,"id":"18","label":"Protection - Gender-Based Violence","state":"single"},"status":"paid","versionId":1,"year":2026}],"filters":{"recipient":"12131","year":2026},"flowBasis":"uniqueFlowsLatestRevision","source":{"checksum":"9dca9a2ec0cca70caa2b383b78937e9aab82f901dbc5bb5dc397f9f3d0965e44","coveredYears":[2026],"importCompletedAt":"2026-07-13T06:00:29Z","manifestChecksum":null,"name":"UN OCHA FTS","newestImportCompletedAt":"2026-07-13T06:00:29Z","newestSourceFetchedAt":"2026-07-13T06:00:22Z","oldestImportCompletedAt":"2026-07-13T06:00:29Z","oldestSourceFetchedAt":"2026-07-13T06:00:22Z","runCount":1,"updatedAt":"2026-07-13T06:00:22Z"},"total":1}
