Why do we want to
organize Women’s Court?
Because the institutional legal system does not satisfy justice, neither at the international nor national level; this is particularly true for the countries of former Yugoslavia, where political elites invest a huge effort to get around justice, or sacrifice the interests of justice for political interests and maintenance of power;
Because, through the Women’s Court, women become subjects of justice, encouraged to create different legal practices and influence institutional legal system.
Because Women’s Court is a space for women’s voices and women’s testimonies about the daily injustices suffered during the war and now, in peace; At Women’s Courts, women testify about the violence in the private and public spheres.
Because Women’s Court encourages the strengthening of networks of mutual support and solidarity, and the creation of strong autonomous women’s movement.
Because Women’s Court encourages the creation of different-feminist concepts of responsibility, care and security, in order to build a just peace.

What do we want to achieve
by organising Women’s Court?
We encourage women to testify about all kinds of structural injustice: poverty, exploitation at the workplace and everywhere, uncontrolled rule of market laws, social and health threats, and abuse of religion for political purposes...
We write alternative history: through publications that inform about the experiences of previous Women’s Courts and Tribunals, and that collect our experiences related to the organisation of the Women’s Court for the former Yugoslavia;
We strengthen global feminist-pacifist alliances and coalitions: in order to bring punishment to violence and crimes, to influence the international institutions of justice, to start making documents and resolutions based on everyday experiences of injustice against women and all those with diminished social, economic, and political power.

Interactive field research, in order to gather information and proposals about the concept and the vision of justice, and in order to determine the topics Women’s Court should deal with.
Core groups, as support to the Women’s Court: coalitions of CSO activists, media representatives, artists, and the members of the art institutions.
Public work meetings, in order to present the initiative for the organisation of the Women’s Court for the Former Yugoslavia.

We will organize Women’s Court for the former Yugoslavia (within the next two years) as a space for testifying and for the voices of women, for the autonomy of women, through their active participation in building justice and peace, in order to create new paradigms of justice.
