During August the Center for Roma Initiatives conducted a campaign entitled “Child arranged marriage is a criminal offense of human trafficking”. By distributing promotional material, members of the Roma and Egyptian community in 3 Montenegrin cities: Nikšić, Podgorica and Berane had the opportunity to become familiar with the consequences of child arranged marriage.
The activity was implemented within the project “Promotion of human rights within the Roma and Egyptian community”, which is implemented by the Center for Roma Initiatives and is supported through the program “CSOs in Montenegro – from basic services to policy formulation – M’BASE” implemented by the Center for Civic Education (CGO), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), the Center for Protection and Study of Birds of Montenegro (CZIP) and Politikon network. The project is financed by the European Union and co-financed by the Ministry of Public Administration.
