Women’s Rights in Serbia Should be Daily Topic
International Women’s Day, 8 March, is the time to remember all the women who left a deep mark in our history and send a message that women’s rights in Serbia should be discussed every day, not just today.
Our common goal must be to create the conditions where the only measure of success is work and results, not whether you are a man or a woman.
The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia has recognized the need to strengthen gender equality and endorsed the work of the Women’s Parliamentary Network, comprised of women MPs from all the political parties. We passed the Law on Preventing Domestic Violence and introduced gender-responsive budgeting to enable the economic empowerment of women.
40% of women in Serbia are employed, 26% are entrepreneurs, 15% have their own businesses, but only 8% are municipal presidents or mayors, while about 15% of women take part in the executive power but do not receive the same pay as men for the same job.
The presidential election is an opportunity to have the candidates respond to what they would do to raise these percentages. That is what 51.7% of the citizens of Serbia – women, are waiting for.
