In her blog Katarina put emphasis on the use of photography in order to create convincing portraits of women and draw attention and real-life of Macedonian women. Those multicolour photographs taken from different perspective and angels serve as the background for stories of women described in the blog.
Katarina: All the stories I have collected were really moving. We have seen the home-based workers in their own homes, who described their difficult situation regarding their jobs and earning the living. The women I talked to, similarly to many other women in Balkans are in a position where because of their age, they cannot be on [old age] pension, but in a same way are "too old" for the employers. They encounter many stereotypes regarding their place in the society – home based work is seen as something „natural” for the women and is not considered to be a proper work. Also, some women claim, that „women business” or „women´s associations” are seen with suspicions and funny. I have been also very interested in bad working conditions in the textile factories.
