For a world where women don’t have to choose between safety, rights, and dignity
Croatian Women's Fund
A society cannot be just if women are denied safety, health, and choice. Recognizing persistent systemic inequalities and gaps in institutional support, Solidarna established the Croatian Women’s Fund in 2019.
The Fund mobilizes resources, knowledge, and networks to achieve measurable change: in the lives of women and children who survive violence, in laws that need to better protect them, and in communities working for a safer and more equal future.

How we work
Our work is organized around three program pillars, each supported by strong advocacy and community-led action: prevention and response to gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and economic empowerment.Through funding, knowledge-sharing, and connection, the Fund supports both survivors of violence and the organizations that protect them. We work from feminist values, with an intersectional approach, and without unnecessary bureaucracy, prioritizing safety, dignity, and agency at every stage. Women who have survived violence can apply for financial support here.

Prevention and response to gender-based violence

Economic empowerment
We help women build skills, confidence, and professional networks for long-term independence. Through initiatives such as Odvažna and partnerships with employers, we advocate for structural changes that advance workplace equality.
