The poster shows the demographic trend in Croatia through the
decades and its decreasing tendency in the last few years. Our
president contributed to the main topic of the meeting “Gender
and Employment in Europe” by a discussion on the status
of employed women in Croatia with a special emphasis on college
graduates. The whole employment situation was affected by the
war. Different CAUW activities during and after the war were
also presented.
1998
Seven of our members attended the 26th Triennial IFUW Conference
in Graz. We were one of the first to have our own WEB-site then.
One of our members from Dubrovnik ran a workshop called “The
role of traditional handicrafts as a psychological aid to women
during the time of their exile (presentation and exhibition)”.
Bina Roy Grant that helped us with paying our international
membership dues was represented by a projection of very nice
handicraft made by the Croatia refugee women.

For the first time a pilot-project called “Base
Camp” was
conducted during the Conference under the guidance of Dr. Ann
Touwen. Each country had one representative in this project.
The “Peace Building Society”, main topic of the project,
was also the topic of great importance for Croatia, only just
emerged from the war, so that it meant a lot to us when our representative
was chosen to give a report on the topic at the conference.
Our book “Hundred testimonies; The moving accounts
of Croatian displaced persons and war prisoners” was distributed
at the conference.

During the war, from 1992 -93, CAUW collected documentary
material from a number of war victims. The originals were delivered
to the special UN representative for human rights Mr.Tadeusz
Mazowiecki in person as well as to other existing institutions
in the world dealing with the violation of international and
human rights. With the witnesses put under protection, the book” Hundred
testimonies; The moving accounts of Croatian displaced persons
and war prisoners” was published in Croatian and English.
Our taking part in this important international meeting with
over 800 participants made us feel that we also belonged to this
movement of women from the whole world, from all continents,
all races, different religious and social beliefs and that we
contributed to it by our own values.
The Association applied for a VGIFUW grant to raise funds with
which to help women and children in Ceminac, one of the many
war destroyed villages in Croatia.
1999
The UWE meeting in St. Andrews, Scotland,
was attended by two of our members, one from Zagreb and one from
Slavonski
Brod. They presented papers on the news in educational system.
Introduction of teleconferencing to education and medicine is
important and necessary for Croatia as a means of communication
with a number of far away islands. It might be of great help
in preventing their depopulation.
A recent finding from the Vatican archives shows that a Dominican “Studium
generale - Universitas Iadertina” acted in Zadar from its
foundation in 1396 until 1807, like other similar ones in Europe.
Its work was temporarily stopped during the Turkish invasion
and completely during the Napoleon Illyria. The University of
Zadar is only a few years older than the one in St. Andrews,
host town of this meeting. This, among other things, testifies
to the age-long links of Croatian territories with other European
regions.
In the post-conference bulletin a report on the Slavonski Brod
association was published.

In the peacefull atmosphere of the monastery
which stood at this place, in the ancient
time of 1396. began the activity of the
FIRST UNIVERSITY

On the occasion of the 6ooth anniversary of Studium Generale of the
Dominican
order,

us
