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.
