“Rethinking, retooling and re-energising gender equality post covid-19” on the current situation of the implementation of gender mainstreaming in social democratic parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia. Is gender mainstreaming a reality in this area? Based on the results obtained, the authors provide a set of policy recommendations for social democratic parties. Acknowledging that gender equality is an important challenge for the future, the objective is to raise awareness and, in turn, guarantee the implementation of gender mainstreaming through the work of women’s forums and social democratic parties themselves.

“Promišljanje, preoblikovanje i ponovno jačanje rodne ravnopravnosti nakon covida-19” o trenutnoj situaciji provedbe rodno osviještene politike u socijaldemokratskim strankama u Bosni i Hercegovini, Crnoj Gori, Hrvatskoj, Sjevernoj Makedoniji i Srbiji. Je li gender mainstreaming stvarnost u ovoj regiji? Na temelju dobivenih rezultata autori daju niz preporuka za politiku socijaldemokratskih stranaka. Priznajući da je ravnopravnost spolova važan izazov za budućnost, cilj je podići svijest i zauzvrat jamčiti provedbu rodno osviještene politike kroz rad ženskih foruma i samih socijaldemokratskih stranaka.
