Summary: | The text focuses on researching the sources that define public policies and
those that form the legal framework within which there are (or are not)
equal opportunities for women and men to exercise their rights under equal
conditions, including the right to engage in scientific work. Documents
(strategies and action plans) in the fields of education, science, gender
equality and non-discrimination are the subject of attention. The research
is also supported by legal regulations that positivise public policies
through binding norms, which include international legal sources containing
human rights and gender equality standards in the field of scientific work,
as well as domestic legislation (Constitution and laws). The Constitution of
the Republic of Serbia in its basic principles guarantees the equality of
women and men and obliges the state to pursue a policy of equal
opportunities and take special measures in order to achieve in practice the
gender equality proclaimed by the Constitution. Our question is whether the
state fulfils this constitutional obligation, whether it pursues a policy of
equal opportunities in the field of science, whether it takes special
measures as instruments for conducting a policy of equal opportunities,
whether any special measures which are undertaken are sufficient and what
effect they have. |
