The cause
Iele-Sânziene Association is a non-profit organization, active since the beginning of 2020. The association supports girls and women in Romania through menstrual and puberty education workshops, women’s solidarity projects and advocacy for long-term systemic change. To date, the Iele-Sânziene Association has supported over 360 adolescent girls through menstrual and puberty education workshops and distributed 300 kits with contraceptives and hygiene products that are friendly to the body and nature, in order to reduce menstrual poverty.

In January 2021, Iele-Sânziene published a petition calling on the authorities to implement a program to make menstrual products available free of charge in schools. The petition was signed by over 40,000 people and initiated talks with representatives of the ministries of health and education in order to implement a pilot project. Also, in 2021, Iele-Sânziene joined the “Together for Girls” initiative group, formed by Parliament Member Oana Țoiu, together with other NGOs in the field, to create a legislative proposal to support vulnerable people who cannot afford products of monthly menstrual hygiene.
In September 2021, the Iele-Sânziene Association launched Sânziene Magazine in print and digital format – the first educational and inclusive magazine in Romania, created by teenagers, for teenagers.

Location
Elisabeta Restaurant, built in an eclectic style, is an architectural monument dating from 1912, being one of the most significant buildings representing the architectural style of the time. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the city’s architecture began to take shape according to Western parameters, the Elisabeta Restaurant building being part of the configuration of buildings up to European standards, monuments bordering Elisabeta Boulevard on either side.
Built by the architect Rudolf Quich on the land of the Viennese baron Jules de Waldberg, it has architecturally instilled the eclectic style of Western art through all the design elements of modernism, art deco and classicism. Over time, the building has been home to several important state institutions, such as the Austro-Hungarian Club and the Small Senate of Romania.
The Regina Elisabeta Hall is characterized by the refinement and elegance of the salons specific to the interwar period. The restaurant, with a capacity of 120 people in a sitting system and an area of ​​207 m2, aims to evoke as much as possible the imprint of Her Highness Queen Elizabeth, wanting “elegant” to be the word that defines it.
