  • Abstract:

    Equality between women and men combines legal and formal equality as well as the equality that refers to actual everyday situations. In Slovenia, legislation and other measures are used to ensure the equal treatment of genders, which means that discrimination on the basis of gender is prohibited in all areas of public and private life: in the political, economic, social, educational spheres, and others. In the past, there has been a high level of gender inequality in science. For this reason Slovenia has been making considerable efforts in recent decades to improve the position of women and their influence on decision-making in science. The main target groups of this inititiave are women. Implementation of the Principle of Equal Treatment is important for women taking leadership roles. Its main goal to encourage the intellectual potential of women in science and to ensure equal opportunities for women and men following a career path in science.
