On Sunday, 14 February, the state of emergency in the Czech Republic was extended until the end of February. Public offices will return to normal opening hours.

The schools which are currently closed are expected to open in March at the earliest.

We still kindly ask our clients for the following:

• Wear a protective mask.
• Always call or email us to arrange your appointment before coming for a consultation.
• If you have symptoms of cold or flu, do not come to our office. We provide counselling services online, by phone or email as well.
• Still act in ways to protect your health and the health of those around you.

On 12 January, we held a webinar for migrants in the Czech Republic. This time for new parents and parents-to-be.

The webinar, lectured by SIMI counsellors Nika Matějovská and Peter Chmeliar, covered the most frequent topics we help migrant parents to deal with, such as the options and requirements for maternity and parental leave, citizenship of new-born children or health insurance for babies and mothers.

In our new seminar for migrants, we will focus on new parents and the most frequent issues we help them to deal with. The seminar will be held online and in English this time. Join us to learn more about parental leave, citizenship of newborns, health insurance and more.

• When: Tuesday, 12 January 2021, 3pm - 5pm
• Where: at Zoom

The webinar is for free.

The Zoom access link will be sent upon registration at ostranska@migrace.com. Please, register no later than 8 January!

On November 25, the Czech Women´s Lobby, in cooperation with Slovo 21 and SIMI (Association for Integration and Migration), organised an online debate on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The debate, entitled My Body, My Decision, focused on reproductive rights of Roma and migrant women in our country. Deciding on one´s own body seems to be a natural thing. In spite of that, in the light of events in Poland, we can see that this does not necessarily have to be the case. The belief that reproductive rights of women are no topic for the Czech Republic is wrong. There are known cases of unlawful sterilisation of women in Czechia even from 2012, i. e. more than 20 years after the amendment to the totalitarian laws using this practice for genocide of the Roma and handicapped population.
