Abstract
After more than half a century since the beginning of a global movement for women’s rights, humanity still has a long way to go before achieving true gender equality. Currently, achieving equality of women and men is an important political and strategic goal at the global and European levels, as well as in the Republic of Croatia. This paper aims to provide a brief overview of the historical development of women’s rights in global and national contexts, to analyse the legislative and institutional framework of protection of women’s rights to equality and non-discrimination in the Republic of Croatia, and to present current data on the equality index of women and men in the Republic of Croatia based on international measurements. In conclusion, the current status of women on the way to achieving gender equality in Croatian society will be reviewed critically.
