Commissioner for Protection of Equality, Brankica Jankovic, had a meeting in Zagreb with the Ombudsman for Gender Equality of the Republic of Croatia, Visnja Ljubicic. During the meeting, they discussed possible joint activities within the REC 2020 project on the topic of “overcoming the gender gap over a lifetime”.

The competition was announced by the European Commission with the aim of raising awareness and combating gender stereotypes in all areas of social life, especially in education, and it refers to the countries of the European Union and Serbia.

Since women in both countries face similar types of inequality, Jankovic and Ljubicic discussed launching a transnational project that would contribute to creating conditions for improving the position and economic independence of women in Serbia and Croatia.
