Republic and Vojvodina Parliament WPN Members Meet
The members of the women’s parliamentary networks of the republic and Vojvodina parliament met today in Novi Sad to sum up the results of their work this year and discuss activities and priorities for the coming year.
Dubravka Filipovski said that one of the WPN’s achievements is rescinding statute of limitation for sexual abuse. The 2017 budget is gender-responsive, meaning more money was allocated for predominately women’s activities than in previous years, again at the WPN’s initiative. Another initiative that bore fruit was including more content into elementary and high school textbooks educating children how to recognize sexual abuse and how to fight it.
The members of the provincial parliament said that it is important to develop women’s parliamentarism at the local level, adding that the Municipal Assembly of Indjija will be getting its network of councilwomen on Tuesday.
The parliamentarians concluded that these achievements do not mean that there are no challenges left and next year’s priorities will be insisting to raise the numbers of women in the executive power and improve their status in political parties.
