The Women's Studies Center (Serbian: Центар за женске студије, romanized: Centar za ženske studije) is an independent non-profit and non-governmental organization in Belgrade, Serbia.
Its mission is to create and promote alternative education opportunities through a variety of teaching, research, and publishing programs.
[1] After many negotiations, the University of Belgrade at the Faculty of Political Sciences officially recognized and accredited a set of the Center’s programs, which enabled the establishment of the Center for Gender and Politics, an institution founded to further promote gender studies.
From its inception and throughout the first decade of its history, the Center worked against the backdrop of the wars fought between 1991–1999 as an alternative to the mainstream education of the time.
It was founded an anti-war and anti-nationalist educational enlightenment project, grounded-in and supported by feminist activism.
