This research covers first two thematic areas out of four planned to be implemented in the Polog region (Tetovo, Gostivar, Vrashchishte, Jegunovce, Tearce, Mavrovo and Rostushe, Zhelino, Bogovinje, Brvenica). The first two thematic surveys elaborate equality in decision making and promotion of gender equality at the local level. In the next period equality in the labor market / economic independence and gender based violence will be explored.

Also research results should serve as a resource planning advocacy actions of local civic associations.
The survey was conducted by the Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities in Skopje.
