Helpdesk Report
  • Evie Browne
March 2017

The Western Balkans remains a region dominated by patriarchal gender norms. The biggest challenge for improving gender equality is changing the mentality of women and men towards traditional gender roles (Petričević, 2012).

Helpdesk Report
  • Evie Browne
