Founded in Cyprus in 2017, Women in Conflict Zones (WICZ) Initiative focuses directly on the issues of women’s rights and civic participation.
WICZ’s aims and objectives are to:
- Shed light on women’s stories, experiences, struggles and achievements;
- Promote and support women’s contribution to society and at the same time boost the number of inspirational role models for other women and girls;
- Increase the visibility of women in the media, providing them a platform to voice their opinions on key issues in the national dialogue and fighting underrepresentation and misrepresentation of women in media;
- Promote a new vision of masculinity.
