B.a.B.e. conducts several projects relating to violence against women.  The LEGALINE project began in 1995. The project is managed by three lawyers who over the phone provide legal counseling concerning protection and safety, domestic violence, sexual violence, divorce, economic rights, reproductive rights, child custody, inheritance, employment, labor rights, and sexual harassment.

The monitoring project is designed to monitor laws, distribute suggestions and amendments to legal proposals which are submitted before parliament and are important for advancing the equality of women.

As a part of the organization group’s strategic goal to co-operate more closely with human rights groups and interested individuals from South-Eastern European countries, B.a.B.e. initiated SEELINE, a three-year long regional project with the purpose of monitoring and influencing legislation from a gender perspective. Through the SEELINE network, women lawyers of 10 countries in SEE region meet, plan the project methodology of joined activities, and monitor laws in their own countries from a gender perspective, discuss their analysis, create joint proposals for changes in the law and exchange experiences with respect to successful lobbying strategies. 

B.a.B.e. has initiated an education campaign for women's human rights and acquired skills in human rights education and methods of participatory learning. 

Over the years B.a.B.e. has monitored and responded to numerous occurrances of discrimination of women in the media and through many public apparances on TV and round tables, and has raised awareness about the harmful effects of sexism in advertising campaigns.

Other projects include: a museum exhibition in the Museum of the City of Zagreb, a documentary "Distorted Reflections," publications "Reasearching Daily Newspapers" and "For Your Eyes Only," and production of radio shows "Mjeseènica".
