The mandate and activities of the Commissioner for Protection of Equality were presented by advisors Danijela Stojimenov and Marija Zarić on the seminar “Representation of Women before Independent Institutions”, organised in collaboration with the association of women Femina from Smederevska Palanka.

The attendees, members of the association, were told about the authorisation and the results of the work until then of the Commissioner, as well as the situation in which they could contact the Commissioner and in which way to do so. A special emphasis was put on the examples of discrimination towards women and the Commissioner’s actions in such cases.

After the seminar and practical exercises for writing a complaint, the seminar attendees identified the online form for employment that contains discriminatory questions and filed a complaint to the Commissioner for discrimination in the area of work and employment.
