\tThe seminar brought together more than 20 participants from various organizational units of the MoI, such as the Bureau for Strategic Planning, the Department for managing projects financed from European Union funds and other organizational units within the Office of the Minister and others.\u00a0Participants had the opportunity to build their capacities \u00a0in order to implement gender analysis in planning, strategies and policies, and thus contribute to the promotion of gender equality at of the Ministry of Interior.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tOn the first day of the seminar, the participants have discussed the basic terms and concepts related to gender equality.\u00a0There was a lot of discussion how different social expectations imposed on men and women have a direct impact on their position in the society.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\t\u201cResearch suggests that even abilities that are more\u00a0typical for men such as spatial intelligence, is not biologically inherited, but rather arising from the different treatment of boys and girls during childhood,\u201d emphasized the BCSP director Sonja Stojanovic Gajic.\u00a0<\/strong>In addition, participants were introduced to the principles and aspects of gender mainstreaming in order to analyze the progress of gender equality in the police force.<\/p>\n \t{image2}<\/p>\n \tDragan Bo\u017eani\u0107, advisor at the Provincial Secretariat for Economy, Employment and Gender Equality held an interactive lecture on the integration of gender equality principles in the Government of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.\u00a0By using gender analysis and budgeting as a tool for analyzing the impact of provincial programs on women and men, Bo\u017eani\u0107 illustratively explained the reasons why policies and budgets are not gender neutral.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\u201cThe aim of the Provincial Secretariat is to shape provincial policies and programs in a way to respond to the needs of women and men. \u00a0The gender perspective should be integrated into every phase of budgetary decisions. This implies a change of priorities that focuses on the implementation of gender equality of women and men\u201d, noted Bo\u017eani\u0107.<\/strong><\/p>\n \tRadmila Mikovi\u0107, an independent consultant and external evaluator of the projects funded by the European Union and the Swedish International Development Cooperation familiarized the participants with the importance and basic approaches in developing indicators for monitoring the effectiveness of programs and projects. Since gender indicators are used for evaluation of results of gender oriented policies, as well as introducing certain policies with gender perspective, the participants practiced development of gender indicators. Those indicators are to monitor National Action Plan for the implementation of the Resolution 1325 – Women, Peace and Security.In this way, the participants will be able to utilize their acquired knowledge to the future work and contributed to a more effective planning and implementation of strategies and policies at the Ministry of Interior, thus taking into account the needs of women and men.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t{image3}<\/p>\n \tGender Equality Adviser and advisor of head of Sector for analytical, telecommunications and information technology, Tatjana Vasi\u0107, analyzed the participation of police officers in work and decision-making process within the Ministry of Interior. Ministry of Interior achieved permanent growth regarding participation of women in the police. However, data conducted by the Analytical Group shows unequal representation of women in police departments, as well as on the higher positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\u201eIt is important to define strategic goals regarding employment in the strategy making process, in order to strengthen capacities for providing services to different groups. It is necessary to include gender perspective in strategy and take into consideration the impact of the proposed solution on women and men\u201d, Vasi\u0107 said.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to integrate a gender perspective in programs, policies, and budget of the Ministry of Interior (MoI), and then monitor progress in achieving gender equality in the police force, were the main topics of the seminar \u2019\u2019Gender equality and gender-sensitive indicators in the police; which was held from 15th to 17th of October at Hotel Relax in Kova\u010dica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":14128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8601,8598,8591],"tags":[264,9176,9320,8382,7591,7880,4904,6444,9104,10445,10444,7743,8246,7482,9083,7448,6559,1019,10077,8318],"vest_saopstenje":[9454],"coauthors":[164,8671],"class_list":["post-20863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gender-and-security","category-police","category-serbian-security-policy","tag-264","tag-achieving","tag-budget","tag-equality","tag-force","tag-gender","tag-hotel","tag-implementation","tag-indicators","tag-integrate","tag-kovacica","tag-october","tag-perspective","tag-police","tag-programs","tag-progress","tag-relax","tag-seminar","tag-sensitive","tag-topics","vest_saopstenje-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20863"},{"taxonomy":"vest_saopstenje","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vest_saopstenje?post=20863"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=20863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\t\u00a0<\/h2>\n
