O nama

Ko smo mi?

ROZA-Udruženje za radna prava žena zvanično je formirano u julu 2015. godine, a proizišlo je iz Ženske sekcije Pokreta Ravnopravnost iz Zrenjanina, nastalog kao rezultat štrajkova i radničkih protesta. Potreba za nastankom ROZE se javila iz lokalnog i nacionalnog konteksta, u kom se radna prava žena krše intenzivnije nego radna prava muškaraca, ali i iz ličnih razloga. Članice ROZE su različitih godina, socio-ekonomskog statusa, nacionalnosti i većinom su prekarne radnice.

Mi smo žene koje su lično iskusile neki vid nepravde, mobinga, diskriminacije, loših uslova rada i raznih oblika kršenja radnih prava. Ne pristajući na sve navedeno, opredelile smo se da preuzmemo aktivnu ulogu u društvu. I izgradimo bezbedan prostor  za druge radnice, u kom mogu da dele svoja iskustva. I da solidarno radimo na rešenjima problema.

Čemu težimo?

Želimo da svaka žena ide na posao i sa posla dignute glave i mirne duše.

Kako radimo?

Pričamo sa radnicama, slušamo i beležimo njihova iskustva. Koristimo te prilike i da ih edukujemo o radnim pravima i mehanizmima zaštite. Centralna aktivnost od samog početka rada je tkz Grupa za podršku. Radnice nam se obraćaju povodom problema sa kojima se suočavaju u oblasti rada, a mi, u skladu sa svojim kapacitetima i datim problemima, pokušavamo da im pomognemo da dođu do potrebnih informacija i konkretnih rešenja.

Podržavamo radnice u štrajkovima, učestvujemo u marševima i drugim javnim skupovima, zahtevamo poboljšanje položaja žena i njihovih radnih prava.

Podižemo svest javnosti o kršenjima radnih prava žena, o radnim pravima i mehanizmima zaštite, kroz radionice, publikacije, video produkciju, putem društvenih mreža i kroz učešće na raznim događajima.

Veliki deo rada je na volonterskoj bazi. To potiče iz našeg uverenja da se moramo organizovati kako bismo postigle dostojanstvene uslove rada za sve žene. Ponosne smo na činjenicu da smo zadobile poverenje radnica i da žene širom Srbije traže našu podršku. Postale smo prepoznate i relevantne govornice na seminarima, okruglim stolovima i javnim panelima.

Konstantno učimo. Trudimo se da budemo u toku sa svim relevantnim nacrtima, zakonima, pravilnicima i sl. iz oblasti radnih prava. Unapređujemo svoja znanja i kroz različite projekte, radionice, seminare,  panele, tribine, treninge, proteste, skupove, okrugle stolove.

Shvatajući da ženska i radnička borba nisu izolovane od ostatka društvenog konteksta, aktivno se priključujemo i drugim društveno relevantnim aktivnostima.

Who Are We?

ROZA – The Association for Women’s Labor Rights was officially founded in July 2015, emerging from the Women’s Section of the Equality Movement in Zrenjanin, which was formed as a result of strikes and workers’ protests. The need for ROZA arose from both local and national contexts, where women’s labor rights are violated more intensively than those of men, as well as from personal reasons. ROZA’s members come from diverse backgrounds in terms of age, socio-economic status, and nationality; most are precarious workers.

We are women who have personally experienced injustice, workplace harassment, discrimination, poor working conditions, and various forms of labor rights violations. Refusing to accept such conditions, we chose to take an active role in society. We strive to create a safe space for other women workers, where they can share their experiences and work in solidarity toward solutions.

What Do We Strive For?

That every woman can go to and from work with dignity and peace of mind.

How Do We Work?

We talk to women workers, listen to their experiences, and document them. These interactions also serve as opportunities to educate them about labor rights and available protection mechanisms. From the very beginning, our core activity has been the so-called Support Group. Women workers reach out to us with workplace issues, and within our capacities, we help them access the necessary information and concrete solutions.

We support women in strikes, participate in marches and public gatherings, and advocate for better working conditions and labor rights for women.

We raise public awareness about labor rights violations, protection mechanisms, and the importance of women’s labor rights through workshops, publications, video production, social media, and participation in various events.

A significant part of our work is voluntary, stemming from our belief that we must organize to achieve dignified working conditions for all women. We take pride in the trust we have earned from women workers across Serbia, who seek our support. Our organization has become recognized as a relevant voice at seminars, roundtables, and public panels.

We are constantly learning. We strive to stay up to date with relevant drafts, laws, regulations, and other labor rights-related policies. We expand our knowledge through various projects, workshops, seminars, panels, debates, training sessions, protests, gatherings, and roundtables.

Understanding that women’s and workers’ struggles are not isolated from the broader social context, we actively engage in other socially relevant activities.
