Fondacija Friedrich Ebert s ponosom predstavlja ovu publikaciju, koja označava duboko ukorenjenu posvećenost naše organizacije emancipaciji žena i promociji progresivnih vrednosti u društvu. U 2022. godini, zajedno sa Ženskom platformom za razvoj Srbije, pridružili smo se inspirativnoj inicijativi posvećenoj obeležavanju 80. godišnjice osnivanja Antifašističkog fronta žena Jugoslavije. Ova značajna godišnjica predstavljala je savršenu priliku da se usmeri pažnja na neustrašivost i posvećenost žena koje su se hrabro borile protiv fašizma i za ostvarivanje ženskih prava tokom složenih društvenih prilika prošlog veka.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, authentic social democratic positions have remained on the political and social margins primarily due to permanent power-related struggles in realpolitikal, rudimentary conditions of social and political mainstream activity. Nationalist ideologies have proven time and again to promote conflict and divisions for their own purposes.

In today's hyper-connected society, cyberspace is closely intertwined with our daily existence, influencing everything from public services to private interactions. But this convenience comes at a price, as our collective security is interconnected with the threats of data breaches, ransomware, cyber violence, and others. Europe and the United States have initiated groundbreaking efforts to establish a robust regulatory framework to combat these challenges. However, Southeast Europe, despite its proximity to Eastern Europe - where significant cyberattacks, often originating from Russia, have been documented for years - has been slow to address cybersecurity concerns, leaving itself exposed to attacks.

Over the past few decades, migration dynamics have significantly shaped Southeastern Europe as a region. Most recently, Southeast Europe has been affected by the transit of refugees and migrants from other regions, and many of its citizens are emigrating.
