The Vita Activa Association works to advance equality, human rights, and fundamental freedoms for all. It publishes the independent online portal spol. si, which highlights gender-related topics. The organisation challenges sexism, stereotypes, and unequal treatment, responding with clear and thorough analysis. Using an intersectional approach, it addresses social and political issues in Slovenia and beyond, promoting fairness, inclusion, and informed public discussion.

About the Project

With spikes against sexism

Vita Activa’s project targets the problem of widespread sexism despite progress in gender equality and stronger support for women’s and sexual minority rights. Social media and digital platforms only amplify the problem. Public figures, influencers and anonymous creators spread sexist messages, often aimed at young people. The project aims to strengthen the organisation’s communication capacity and raise public awareness through a digital campaign. The campaign analyses sexist content and promotes cooperation with media and influencers. Activities include regular educational and practical posts, articles, analysis of public sexist statements and adverts, and workshops for young people. Vita Activa will also produce online informational materials and a practical guide to help people identify sexism and reject discriminatory content.

Communication Outputs

Project Communications

Vita Activa participated in an event hosted by the Fem TV collective as part of the 27th International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns to select the most sexist statement of the year.

Vita Activa also frequently posts project-related articles and updates on its communication channels.
