The network was founded by Association of single parents ‘Ponos’ from Banja Luka, Association of single parents ‘Velika Porodica’ from Sarajevo, Association of single-parent families ‘Iskra’s’ from Pale and Association of single parents and divorced parents ‘Norne’ from Tuzla.
This network was formed from the longstanding efforts of the Associations, one-parent families, single and divorced parents to create a better social and legal environment for this group.
Although there are no official data on the number of single parents and single-parent families in B&H, it is known that every year there are 1.400 divorces, which means that every year 1.000 new families have a problem with what to do next. According to the latest data, ten percent of the total number of single-parent families is made up of fathers.
