Platform 25 - protest on 6th October in Graz, Austria

WoMentor team participated in local communities protest on 6th of October in Graz , Austria.

Platform 25 ?


The platform 25 is an informal grouping of many organizations in the Styrian cultural, social, educational and health sectors, and thousands of individuals.
Founded the platform 25 was in February 2011. Response to the announced cuts in the Styrian provincial budget

Why? 

The announced cuts will "hit" most painfully the Non- Profit Organisations in the area of Styria , who rely on their funding mostly on projects and national funding - youth centers, organisations working with women, children, unemployed people and migrants . These are organisations that don´t make profit and are mostly active in educational, social, cultural and health fields supporting those with fewer opportunities - meaning budget for their activities will be cut almost 25 %. Platform 25 trys to fight against the govenrments plan to cut the budget from non-profit.
