Street actions: in the reported period, street actions were marked by the campaign to proclaim July, 11^th the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, of commemorations / marking significant dates of crimes committed in our name, as well as under the sign of actions of feminist character.

Campaign – “July, 11^th, Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica – proclaim” – The campaign began in February 2009 after the adoption of the Resolution on July, 11^th – Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica by the European Parliament. The pressure campaign is directed at institutions so that July, 11^th is proclaimed as the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, as well as toward Serbian citizens in order to raise public consciousness, to encourage compassion and respect for, as well as solidarity with, the victims of the Srebrenica genocide.
A protest demanding that July, 11^th be proclaimed as the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica was organised from February 2009 on in Belgrade, in front of the Presidency of Serbia, on the 11^th of each month.
Over the reported period, we organised protests in front of the Presidency the Republic of Serbia: 11^th of January, 11^th of February, 11^th of March and 11^th of April.
The Parliament of the Republic of Serbia passed on March, 31^st 2010 the Declaration Condemning the Crime in Srebrenica. Since the Parliament of Serbia, by the above-mentioned Declaration, did not proclaim July, 11^th the Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, thus not fulfilling the requests of Women in Black (with the support of 100 non-governmental organisations from Serbia), nor of the Resolution of the European Parliament, we kept on protesting on the 11^th of each month.

Belgrade, 27^th of February, 2010.- Marking the seventeen anniversary of the crime in Štrpce , which was committed, on this very same day, in 1993, when nineteen passengers from the train on the line Belgrade – Bar were kidnapped and executed. They were citizens of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia – eighteen of them were of Bosnian nationality and one was ofCroatian nationality. This action was initiated by the organisation named Youth initiative for human rights and Women in Black joined their action.

8 of March: We organized various street actions, since 12h until 14.30h, showing solidarity for labor rights of women. What 8^th of March means to us: a performance upon the importance of this day for all of us (internationalism, solidarity, feminism, women labor rights, pacifism, antifascism, nonviolent revolution...) on Republic Square, at 12h and after that we organized a street march.
'In solidarity for our rights': about the status of women on the labor market in Serbia, in which women/workers from various parts of Serbia participated, providing us with field reports, testifying upon their status through their personal stories over loudspeakers.

Street press conference: on the plateau in front of the Serbian Assembly and the Presidency of Serbian Republic, about the status of women, sexual discrimination, racial and class discrimination, women security, ignorant attitude of the officials of the state toward the demands of the civil society, etc. At this press conference, women from all parts of Serbia and different organizations spoke (Nevena Kostić-Žene za mir, from Leskovac, Jelena Simić-Center for Advanced Law Studies, Belgrade, Vera Kurtić -Women Space, Niš, Dragana Vučković-Labris, Belgrade and Staša Zajović, Women in Black, Belgrade).
