In view of this year’s campaign of the EU 2007 – A Year of
Equal Opportunities for All, the Association of Citizens Akcija Zdruzhenska has
organized a forum entitled: On the Road to the EU: The Policies of the
Republic of Macedonia on Gender Equality.
The meeting offered an opportunity to open up a debate
between the representatives of government institutions, non-governmental
organizations, EU representatives in the Republic of Macedonia and other
relevant organizations on the progress of Macedonia to date and the future
guidance for achieving the standards of gender equality that constitute an
integral part of European legislation and practices.
Considering the new policy and the enhanced efforts of the EU
for promotion and improvement of gender equality, the focus of the debate was
placed on the development and effective implementation of policies in Macedonia
in this sphere. Guidance and recommendations for their promotion ensued from
this meeting.
The discussion was based on the information of the progress
achieved in the Republic of Macedonia within the process of harmonization with
the EU gender equality standards, having in mind the findings and
recommendations of the monitoring conducted by EU representatives and
non-governmental organizations.
