Gender equality is one of the developing goals of the United Nations and one of UNESCO’s global priorities, which means that it is recognized as a key tool for social development and is essential for the development of sustainable development. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the continuing denial of women’s rights and violence. Despite the steps taken to strengthen the framework of policies and laws, substantial (de facto) equality remains to be maintained in North Macedonia. Over the years, there have been several steps that strengthen the position of women in society. North Macedonia has ratified the Istanbul Convention of the Council of Europe was has prepared a National Strategy for Gender Equality 2021-2026.
