Abstract:
Slovenia is among the countries that have long been advocating for mainstreaming the gender equality principle into the UN structure. Accordingly, it was one of the initiators of the Working Group of the UN Human Rights Council on discrimination against women and girls. The main target groups of this inititiave are women. It has also actively promoted the setting up of UN Women. Slovenia participates in discussions, working groups, and negotiations in international organisations and forums, thereby raising its profile as an advocate of women's empowerment and gender equality. In addition, the gender perspective is strongly defended when shaping the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy. Implementation of the iniciativ is important for the capacity building of women taking leadership roles.
