2003

      The Association succeeded in overcoming the organizational and financial problems that almost led to its break-up. This was the reason why we did not take part in the UWE Council in Bordeaux in France. Nevertheless, we proposed a subproject for the EP, the main topic of which was "Empowering women to take power and control of problematic situations in their society".

      We plead for the care and rehabilitation, and social and economic reintegration, of mine victims and for mine awareness programs. We kindly ask all UWE and IFUW members to give us help in making Croatia become equal to other European countries with regard to this too, for by its geographical position, history and culture it already belongs to them.

      The finished, well argumented sub-project, advocating non-violence in general, will be proposed at the next UWE meeting.

2004

      We were again not able to send any of our members to the UWE Council in Bergen, Norway. However, two of our members went to the IFUW Triennial Conference in Perth, Australia, one completely, and the other mostly, at her own expense. The Association greatly appreciates this as they have in this way established again the personal contacts and useful official links.

      The Perth conference gave Croatia special credit by nominating dr. Jelka Vince Pallua to the Special Committee for Project Development as a coordinator and evaluator of the projects for Europe.

      The project supported by the grant obtained from VGIFUW in 2002 to provide equipment for an information technology workshop in Glina was successfully finished.

2005

      We were not able to attend the UWE Council in Cork, Ireland, although we had a documentary film ready on the Croatian trafficking situation, which was the main topic of the conference. The author was Mrs. Shenida Bilally, member of CAUW.
