While there has been some progress in terms of democratic governance reform, the changes that took place in the government since 2012 affected women\u2019s rights in general. Lack of democratic continuity can negatively influence the implementation of the policies and practices that are currently in place, and which should be strengthened further.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of women\u2019s participation in decision-making, there has been little progress. Women constitute less than 30 percent of the newly elected government. Their participation is particularly weak in the security sector, and in peacekeeping missions. The main challenges to women\u2019s participation are the patriarchal stereotypes about women, resulting in their assignment to traditionally \u201cfemale\u201d committees and positions, and the role of women as primarily responsible for their households, which makes it difficult for them to leave their family in order to participate in a peacekeeping mission.<\/p>\n

There has been some progress with regards to women\u2019s participation, in particular in the legislature. Women also hold some high-profile posts, such as the Speaker of the Parliament, the President of the Constitutional Court and the Chief Negotiators in the EU Accession talks. However, this progress is not reflected in a greater representation of women\u2019s issues, or greater gender equality. This is largely due to the fact that the women in power often simply follow their party line. Women\u2019s rights activists and CSOs are marginalized. That was the case even in the planning and implementation of the NAP, since they were admitted to the official process in a limited, advisory role. The funds given to women\u2019s organizations by the government are also very small. The persisting problem in Serbia is the failure to deliver justice to the victims of SGBV that took place during the conflict. Prosecution of war crimes, including SGBV crimes, in Serbia has been very slow and unsatisfactory, and there is no data available on the number and progress of SGBV prosecutions before the War Crimes panel of the Higher Court in Belgrade. Moreover, there has been no progress on delivering reparations to SGBV victims.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that Serbia has signed and ratified numerous international conventions on human rights, and adopted national laws and strategies for gender equality and against gender-based violence, the implementation of these strategies is very poor, and the problems they seek to address still persist. The government needs to take steps to amend this situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
