Recommendation
Continue efforts to reduce discrimination rates in the workplace, as well as discrimination based on sexual orientation, against women, and against the Roma and Egyptian population of the Balkans.
Explanation
Work will continue on empowering women and girls, educating society and strengthening institutional capacities, as key factors for achieving gender equality. Boosting cooperation between the relevant institutions will contribute to better protection of women and girls and persons of different sexual and gender identities from discrimination and all forms of violence. The 2021-2025 National Gender Equality Strategy addressed the issue of strengthening women's access to political offices by increasing the electoral quota, improving public policies through a gender mainstreaming approach, and reducing the level of stereotypes and prejudices, primarily in education, culture and the media. Consistent implementation of the Law on Gender Equality will enable more efficient and effective implementation of policies.
