The Autonomous Women's Center stands in solidarity with the female students who have been subjected to sexist and misogynistic comments by the owner, editor, and host of TV Informer, as reported by students of the Faculty of Political Sciences on social media. Sexist discourse, attempts of objectification, and verbal abuse of female students are part of a broader pattern of political violence perpetrated by the regime and its supporters in their systematic efforts to discredit the voices of those fighting for justice and freedom. In recent months, this violence has manifested in various forms—most intensely targeting female students.
On March 8–9, the Autonomous Women's Center organized a seminar for women's organizations at the Moxy Hotel in Belgrade, focusing on the best interests of the child in the context of domestic violence. The seminar, Children as Witnesses and Victims of Domestic Violence: Best Interests of the Child, Understanding Trauma, and Institutional Responses, was attended by more than 30 representatives of women's organizations from Serbia.
In January and February 2025, the Autonomous Women's Center conducted seminars in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, and Niš for professionals working in the judiciary, police, and social welfare centers.

The Autonomous Women's Center, along with numerous other organizations, strongly condemns today’s raid by armed police—carried out without an appropriate court order—on the premises of several civil society organizations.
The Autonomous Women's Center reacted to the text "Increasingly frequent false reports - Abuse of domestic violence in Jagodina", published on January 22, 2025 in Večernje novosti. It was stated that incomplete and biased information on this topic is very harmful, and even more so when it comes from professionals. In this way, the general public does not receive accurate information, and such writing intimidates victims of domestic violence from contacting key institutions - the Police, the Prosecutor's Office and the Social Welfare Center - which should provide them with protection and support.
Civil society organizations, including the Autonomous Women's Center, have suspended cooperation with the legislative and executive authorities in Serbia. In the press release it was said: Thanks to the students, an increasing number of citizens realize that there will be no prosperity for Serbia until the institutions start working in accordance with their competences and until the concentration of power in the hands of those who are not in charge has been reduced. In this way, unreserved support was provided to all students' requests.
On the occasion of the Magazin IN broadcast on Pink TV on January 18, 2025, the Autonomous Women's Center appealed to the Ministry of Justice to dismiss the lawyer Zora Dobričanin Nikodinović from her position as a member of the Working Group for Amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well as report to the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media.
In Srbobran, during the night, another woman, whom the neighbors had seen battered the previous day or days, was killed by her violent son.
In November and December 2024, the Autonomous Women's Center presented its research findings and legal analysis on the concept of "parental alienation" in Belgrade, Niš, and Kragujevac. The findings were presented in meetings with professionals from social work and the judiciary.
On Friday, December 6, 2024, the Autonomous Women’s Center hosted a press conference at the Media Center to mark the International Day Against Femicide. Following the press conference, representatives of the Autonomous Women’s Center and Women in Black and allies from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia held a street action. They called for accountability for women killed in domestic and partner violence.
