Bulgarian Gender Research Foundation , BGRF

BGRF is an independent non-governmental organization that promotes social equality and women’s human rights in Bulgaria through research, education and advocacy programs. Bulgarian Gender Research Foundation was founded in June 1998 in Sofia by women committed to work in the field of women’s rights and all of them with previous experience in advocacy, education, monitoring violations of human rights, lobbying for legislative changes, preparing publications, networking. The group consists of lawyers, academics and women’s rights activists.
