On the occasion of March 8, International Women's Day, in Tuzla was held a street action called "It is My Right, Not a Privilege!" as part of the Month of Roma Women's Activism. For eight years, Roma women association "Bolja buducnost" , in cooperation with the Roma Women's Network, is implementing the Month of Roma Women's Activism, which traditionally begins with street actions on the International Women's Day, and ends on April 8, marking the World Roma Day.
Also this year is the 110th anniversary of International Women's Day as a day of struggle for economic, political and social equality of women and men. Women's Day not only serves as a reminder of the constant struggle for equality with which many women face everywhere. When women are on all continents, often under influence of the division of national borders and ethnic, linguistic, economic and political differences, on this day they can refer to a tradition that represents at least ten decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.
Roma women association "Bolja buducnost" took advantage of this day and with their volunteers and activists talked with their fellow citizens about the position of women in general with a special emphasis on the situation of Roma women. On this occasion, our fellow citizens agreed on a common message send from this action, which is that each person's life is marked by a woman - mother, daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend or associate; Women in each community play an important role in all areas of life and our strength lies in our unity.
