Era Kobiet is an association dedicated to promoting gender equality. Our primary mission is to advocate for equal rights for women and men through various initiatives, including organizing Women’s Congresses and Civic Cafés. We actively bring these events to smaller towns, ensuring that educational opportunities on gender equality reach communities that often lack access to such resources.
To make this more concrete, I would like to highlight our key educational initiatives and campaigns:
1. We run the West Pomeranian Women’s Rights Center, providing free legal, psychological, and civic counseling, as well as support in combating domestic violence. This center operates in part of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and includes a 24/7 crisis hotline.
2. Through the Women’s Network, we implement campaigns focused on preventing violence, advocating for women’s rights, and promoting human rights.
3. A significant part of our work includes publishing informational materials related to our counseling services, as well as campaigns addressing exclusion and discrimination based on gender, age, race, and religion.
Our initiatives respond to the needs of all individuals who value human rights—including women’s rights and animal rights—which is why we engage in a variety of areas. Members of our association include local councilors from Koszalin, Polanów, and Gryfino, and we are actively involved in various NGO councils, monitoring committees, and nationwide organizations.
Koszalin, where our organization is based, is a city in northwestern Poland, located near the Baltic Sea. It is the second-largest city in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and serves as an important cultural, academic, and economic center in the region. Koszalin is known for its strong local community engagement, as well as its dynamic development in education and social initiatives. The region is characterized by its coastal proximity, beautiful natural landscapes, and a mix of urban and rural areas, which influences the diverse social needs we address in our work.
We would like to inform you that there will be another edition of our Erasmus+ project proposal in October under Key Action 2 (Cooperation among organizations and institutions). You can find more details about the program here: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/pl/programme-guide/part-b/key-action-2.
We are particularly interested in establishing a long-term partnership for the period 2025–2030. During this time, we plan to apply for various funding opportunities to sustain and expand our initiatives. We believe that collaborating with your organization could bring valuable perspectives and strengthen our efforts in advancing gender equality. It would be wonderful to explore potential ways to work together.
Please let us know if you would be interested in discussing this further.
