SolidarityNow will support the operation of Female Friendly Spaces (FFS) in Thessaloniki and surrounding accommodation sites.

The project “Female Forward • together for women’s inclusion” was launched in July 2024 and its main objective is to empower and support women and adolescent girls, through the operation of spaces specifically designed for them, the so-called “Female Friendly Spaces • FFS”.

SolidarityNow (SN), drawing on its extensive experience in this field, and responding to women’s needs for socialization, skills development, support and creative expression, will be operating Female Friendly Spaces in four locations in Northern Greece («Blue Refugee Center» – Thessaloniki, Accommodation Sites for Asylum Seekers in Serres, Polykastro and Vagiochori). The spaces will act as meeting points and safe spaces for women where they can support, learn, carry out activities and empower one another. The FFS will be operated by social scientists and complemented by volunteers to carry our activities and forge linkages with the local community, hence supporting integration efforts.

* The project “Female Forward • together for women’s inclusion” has a 12-month duration (7/2024 – 6/2025) and is funded by the Kahane Foundation. Through the project, we promote the values of inclusion, equality and acceptance of diversity and well-being.
