Representatives of the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights spoke at the round table Gender Inequality in the labor market in Serbia, organized by UNWOMEN Serbia. On this occasion, in order to better understand the role of the non-governmental sector in the economic empowerment of women, we pointed out areas that are of key importance for the economic empowerment of women, which require the joint work of the state and the civil sector. Some of the recommendations concerned the actualization of flexible working hours and measures for reconciliation of professional and family life, campaigns directed at women in agriculture on their rights regarding the inheritance and registration of property in their name, the need to evaluate active employment policy programs and favors programs that are effective from the perspective of women who are included in the labor market, the use of targeted communication strategies aimed at the destruction of gender stereotypes and prejudices, as well as the active participation of the civil sector in actions indicating discriminatory gender practices.
