Η ομάδα του Birth Forward φιλοξενήθηκε στις 23/04 στα γραφεία του Cyprus Refugee Council για την εναρκτήρια συνάντηση για το καινούριο έργο RespectMi: Προς μια κουλτούρα Φροντίδας Μητρότητας με Σεβασμό με
τη συμμετοχή μεταναστριών (PLATO-CY-B04)
Μέσα από εποικοδομητικό διάλογο οι δυο οργανισμοί κατέληξαν στο πλάνο υλοποίησης του έργου με στόχο τον μεγαλύτερο θετικό αντίκτυπο για τις ομάδες στόχου.
Συνεχίζουμε με προσήλωση στην αποστολή του οργανισμού μέσα από καινοτόμα έργα και εργαλεία για γυναίκες, επαγγελματίες υγείας και τις αρμόδιες αρχές.
