On 1 December 2010, Praxis started implementing the project Contribution to Social Inclusion and Combat against Discrimination of Marginalized Population in Serbia funded by Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which will last by 30 November 2013.

The project goal is the reduction of discrimination and elimination of systemic obstacles in accessing personal documents and socio-economic rights by the marginalized population groups.

The project activities include:

1)    monitoring, analyzing and documenting the improvement of the legal framework and institutional practice regarding access to human rights by marginalized population, gaps in legislation, strategic plans and institutional practice, as well as cases of discrimination
2)    organizing workshops in informal settlements
3)    sensitizing local and national stakeholders
4)    strategic litigation challenging discrimination
5)    evaluation in progress in the process of social inclusion

The first implementation year ended on 30 November 2011.  During that period, Praxis’ cooperating partner was the Roma Educational Centre from Subotica.
