In the Republic of North Macedonia, one of the main
challenges for gender equality is the achievement of gender parity in the
political and social processes in the community. It should be noted that
the legal framework guarantees the same rights for men and women, but the influence
of social norms, customs, traditions, economic conditions and institutional
barriers are a serious obstacle to strengthening and advancing the position of
women in this area. This research
was conducted in the Polog region and covered 500 (44% men and 56% women)
respondents. Respondents answered the question of political activity, on
the fairness of the elections and their perception of women's involvement in
political life. The study explored the factors and perceptions which have an
impact on the level of participation of women in politics.
