CURE
CURE Foundation is a feminist-activist organization that operates for the equality of sexes and genders pleading for positive social changes through educational, artistic, cultural and research programs.
What we do
The CURE Foundation develops a solidary and inclusive women’s movement, a movement that unites all women, regardless of their identities, in order to work together towards a society without patriarchal norms, and with ZERO tolerance for violence and discrimination.
By providing affirmative action, the CURE Foundation celebrates women’s strength and power and works on empowering people so they could become initiators of social changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad.

Why we are different
Active and recognized as the leaders of numerous initiatives within the women's movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we stand for the detabooization of certain topics within society in general. The CURE Foundation is primarily focused on working with women and girls, spreading knowledge about women's rights and activism, and strengthening the visibility of the role of women and girls in society.
With our work, we encourage a new generation of feminists and activists, and we work to strengthen the women's movement through different approaches and intergenerational solidarity.
Our latest activity
By combining open activism, cooperation with institutions and networking in BiH and in the region, the CURE Foundation’s activities include a wide range of target groups and a large part of the public.

A few words from our staff
“I am proud to be a part of the CURE Foundation and to have been advocating for nearly twenty years to advance women’s rights and freedoms, promote women’s health, and ensure equal opportunities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. The CURE Foundation is dedicated to creating a sustainable and inclusive women’s movement that acknowledges generational and other differences. With its capacity, expertise, and strength, we drive, support, and lead initiatives that aim to improve the status of women, as well as other marginalized groups in society.”
“Activist and feminist events moved from the offline to the online sphere of activity during the pandemic caused by Covid-19. Can you imagine what battles are fought online? We occupy the online space, we oppose oppression and retrograde policies, women’s voices resonate, and we create a space of feminist resistance! From common girls of the streets to rebels on the Internet!” #always_disobedient
“The CURE Foundation is a significant point on my feminist map, and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with women who have so much knowledge and experience and who are embedded in the history of feminism in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”
“The networking of women’s formal and informal groups is the key to the development of a strong women’s movement, the inclusion of all women and girls, the strengthening of mutual solidarity and individual activism to protect women’s rights and promote women’s perspective on current social and political issues.”
“I am happy to work in an organization that deals with the protection and improvement of the rights of marginalized groups in our society.“
“Our strength lies in our solidarity – together we can break down barriers and build a world of equality!”
