Based on excellent results achieved during the first phase of implementation of the Young Man Initiative on the national level, in October 2023 CRPM began with the implementation of the second phase of the project βYoung Men Initiative in GBV Prevention in Macedoniaβ, extending the program to nine municipalities.
The second phase of the project involves the following municipalities: Skopje (municipality of Center, Gjorce Petrov and Gazi Baba) Tetovo; Gostivar; Shtip; Kavadarci; Negotino and Ohrid reaching out to 360 youth on the national level. The overall goal of the project is to increase the acceptance of healthy, nonviolent, and gender-equitable lifestyles among young men and women in Macedonia. Moreover, the project objective is to engage youth to be active participants in addressing gender-based violence by building the capacities of local youth NGOs.
We have continued the already established collaboration with municipalities of Gjorce Petrov and Gostivar and we have established cooperation and signed agreements with the other municipalities.
