Abstract:
Founded in 1998, the Bulgarian Center for Gender Studies (BCDI) Foundation is an independent NGO based in Sofia, registered under the Gender Studies Act (F.D. No. 8516/1998). The organization is a leading advocate for gender equality, women's rights, and the elimination of violence against women in Bulgaria. It operates across several key areas, including non-discrimination, legislative reforms, capacity building, and public awareness campaigns. BCDI plays a crucial role in research and policy analysis, offering in-depth studies on gender-related issues and reviewing proposed legislation to ensure alignment with principles of equality and non-discrimination. The organization actively lobbies for legislative changes, working closely with decision-makers to advocate for laws that protect women's rights and promote equality in both the public and private sectors. In addition to its legislative efforts, BCDI focuses on capacity-building by providing training programs and consultations for professionals, such as lawyers, social workers, educators, and government officials. These initiatives equip professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to address gender inequality and violence against women in their respective fields. The Foundation also operates within an extensive network of organizations, public institutions, and experts dedicated to advancing equal rights for men and women. Through this collaboration, BCDI contributes to the development and implementation of national policies aimed at fostering gender equality in Bulgaria. The organization’s work extends to public awareness campaigns aimed at challenging stereotypes, promoting women's leadership, and advocating for social change. BCDI is a recognized leader in the women's rights movement in Bulgaria, playing a pivotal role in shaping both policy and public discourse around gender issues. Its ongoing efforts continue to drive progress toward a more equal and inclusive society, where women's rights are protected, and opportunities for all are ensured.
