- Maternal health / morbidity / mortality
Type:RecommendationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:AcceptedContents:To take effective steps to reduce the high maternal mortality rate.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 51) Since 2004, a working group has been operating within the Institute of Public Health of Slovenia (IPHS) which regularly analyses all cases of maternal death. Each case is scrutinised following a single protocol. Based on the findings, the group publishes a comprehensive report every three years, with recommendations for clinical and public health measures in the field of reproductive health, focusing particularly on the importance of socio-economic factors, the detection and treatment of mental disorders, and the need for education and awareness raising among the general public and medical professionals. Between 2010 and 2013, several symposia were dedicated to the main causes of maternal death in Slovenia, and the national association of perinatal medicine adopted clinical guidelines. The Ministry of Health (MoH) co-finances programmes on reproductive health and rights at the national, regional and local levels. Since post-natal mental disorders and suicide are among the main causes of maternal death in Slovenia, in 2013 the IPHS published a draft programme for the detection and treatment of mental problems and disorders in the perinatal period, which will serve as the basis for further activities. -

Type:RecommendationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:AcceptedContents:To continue to implement legislation recognizing equal rights for same-sex couples.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 52) On 16 June 2011, the NA adopted the Family Code, according to which a same-sex union (partnership, extramarital union) is equal to a union between a man and a woman. The Act was rejected in a referendum held on 25 March 2012, with 45.45% voting for its adoption and 54.55% against. The relevant ministry has prepared working documents for a new family code and a draft law on civil partnership. In April 2014, the draft law was submitted for inter-ministerial consideration and public debate. The procedure has been suspended following the resignation of the Government. At the 2nd IDAHO Forum in May 2014, Slovenia was among 17 countries that signed the Declaration of Intent, which draws attention to the issues of homophobia and transphobia.

- Violence against women / gender-based violence
Type:RecommendationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:AcceptedContents:To strengthen measures to combat violence against women and girls.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 29) Since 2010, Slovenia signed and ratified the following international treaties:
CoE Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence; signed on 8 September 2011.
Para 73) In 2009, Slovenia adopted the Resolution on the 2009-2014 National Programme on Prevention of Family Violence (NPPFV). This strategic document sets out objectives, measures and key players to reduce and prevent domestic violence. The document aims to combine measures implemented by various ministries and provides for effective activities to reduce domestic violence, both in terms of identification and prevention. Therefore, the Resolution also provides for the implementation of a national awareness-raising campaign on the issue of violence and for reducing the extent of such deviant behaviour in every society. Rules were adopted in certain fields to implement the 2008 Family Violence Prevention Act (FVPA), effectively provide assistance to children and cooperate with other authorities.
Para 74) The two-year nation-wide awareness raising campaign "VESNA - to live a life free of violence" officially started on 7 March 2014 with a national conference. The target group is women of three generations (young women, adults and old women), for whom different, target-oriented activities have been envisaged. Activities are tailored to the needs and lifestyle of each target group.
Para 75) Several other sector-specific implementing acts on education, health care, social security, and the police have been passed to implement the FVPA, effectively provide assistance to children and cooperate with other authorities.
Para 76) The Slovenian Research Agency, the OEO and the MoI/Police co-financed the target research project "Violence and Responses to it in the Private Sphere and Partnerships". At the end of 2010, the results of the first empirical national research on violence in the private sphere and partnerships were published, and followed at the end of 2011 by analyses on the work of the Police, courts and social services concerning violence against women and domestic violence. The research has shown that the number of cases of domestic violence that are detected, identified and processed by institutions is increasing. This is also due to the implementation of legislation that both enables and imposes the obligation of institutions to provide effective assistance to victims and to prosecute offenders. In addition, the number of cases processed also increased as a result of the victims' increased willingness to seek help and the increased awareness and sensitivity of staff in institutions established to help such victims.
Para 77) Adopted in 2013, the Police Tasks and Powers Act significantly upgraded the police restraining order. Police officers may impose such a measure on the offender not only on the scene of the offence, but also immediately after the offender has been apprehended, regardless of location. An offender who has repeatedly violated a restraining order may be detained by the Police and, at the same time, a fine may be imposed. For the cases when the place that the offender must not approach is an education institution attended by a victim who is a child or a minor, the legal basis was added to inform the relevant personnel at the education institutions of the duration of the restraining order or other information vital to the protection of the victim.
Para 78) With a view to raising public awareness, the Police publish on its web page, in several foreign languages, information on domestic violence and on police procedures.
Para 79) Housing capacities for women victims of violence have increased. One of the safe houses has also been adapted for the needs of disabled persons. One crisis centre has been adapted for the needs of older people. The network of crisis centres and shelters expanded to regions in which such services were previously unavailable, and the housing capacities for victims of violence are currently provided for.
Para 80) NGOs caution about the changed criminal offence of threat under Article 135 of the Criminal Code, which stipulates that the threatening of the security of another person without any consequences and when only one person is involved is liable to private prosecution. This change was made particularly due to prosecutors' experience of a large number of withdrawn complaints of injured parties during the later stages of the procedure. The adequacy of this solution is being reviewed in 2014.
Para 81) The available statistics show the improved effectiveness of justice in terms of prosecutions and conviction related to the offence of domestic violence under Article 191 of the Criminal Code. -

- Gender equality
Type:RecommendationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:AcceptedContents:To continue to implement measures aimed at addressing women's occupational segregation and the diversification of their academic and professional choices, including in non-traditional fields.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 44) In cooperation with the relevant partners, the Government carried out activities aimed at increasing the number of women in top-level positions and in decision-making in business and their empowerment in science and research. Among other things, the OEO organised a conference on the role of management in shaping non-discriminatory policies, together with eliminating gender-based discrimination; it conducted a survey on gender balance in decision-making positions in the business sector, organised a press conference "Have we really tapped the full potential?", which focused on gender imbalance in decision-making positions, published a brochure under the same title, and cooperated with the Managers' Association - Women Managers' Section on drafting guidelines for encouraging equality in decision-making business positions.
Para 45) Legislation stipulating a minimum quota of women and men on candidate lists contributed to an increased share of women in political decision-making positions. A draft law amending the NA Elections Act is being considered; it envisages at least a 40% share of women and men on candidate lists and amends the rules on the composition of candidate lists. With the parliamentary elections on 4 December 2011, the share of women deputies increased considerably and women account for a third of all deputies in the NA. On 27 February 2013, a woman was elected Prime Minister for the first time.
Para 46) Following the 2010 local elections, the OEO commissioned an analysis to examine the impact of gender quotas on the electability of women. In the 2010 elections, 11.95% of women stood for mayor and 10 were elected (5%). The share of women on candidate lists for a seat on town and municipal councils has increased to 38%, with 23.26% having been elected. In areas where the Roma community autochthonously resides, one female councillor was elected among 18 Roma councillors. The OEO co-funded an analysis of the impact of electoral districts on the electability of women to the NA. In 2011, it organised a Mentoring Day with a Female Politician in cooperation with the Government, the NA and the universities of Ljubljana, Maribor and Primorska. -
