Gojkovic: Progress Achieved, Continue Working on Full Equality for Women
The Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Maja Gojkovic congratulated International Women’s Day, 8 March, pointing out that despite the progress made as regards women’s rights in Serbia, the fight against violence against women need to be continued, as does the work on raising representation and achieving social equality for women.
The National Assembly has recognized the importance of strengthening gender equality through the Women’s Parliamentary Network and improvement of the legislative framework, such as the Law on Preventing Domestic Violence and the amendments to the Criminal Code passed by the Parliament, which sent a clear message that violence against women will not be tolerated.
The National Assembly will continue to work on improving the status of women through law, but we all must pull together to achieve full equality.
