Its momentous events, policies, as well as legal changes made an impact on the status of women in Slovenia as well. The conference will address the issue of fields in which the progress was most notable as well as fields with no progress or even a backlash in the last 20 years. The most prominent experts will be invited to critically analyse and evaluate the situation and status of women in Slovenia and more broadly, in European context.
