Tim za socijalno uključivanje i smanjenje siromaštva

The National Youth Council of Serbia (KOMS) has marked the Human Rights Week by establishing the Council for Equality and Inclusive Society.

On Tuesday, December 5, the inaugural meeting of the Council for Equality and Inclusive Society was held, in the offices of the National Youth Council of Serbia. The establishment of a body that would deal with the issues of social inclusion of socially underrepresented youth groups was initiated by the Roma Youth Association of Serbia and the Association of Students with Disabilities at the Assembly of the National Youth Council of Serbia, held in spring of 2016.

The Council for Equality and Inclusive Society was created to ensure a more active representation and protection of the interests and needs of young people from socially underrepresented groups at the national level, greater possibility for organisations that work with different underrepresented youth groups to connect with each other and with those who advocate their interests, to enable more effective communication, exchanges and cooperation, as well as the improvement of knowledge, awareness, understanding and capacities of young people and youth policy stakeholders in working with socially underrepresented youth groups.
