During 2008 and 2009, the Gender Equality Commission of Vukovar-Srijem County (VSŽ) and BaBe jointly implemented activities aimed at more equal participation of women and men in political decision-making in Vukovar-Srijem County. One of the indicators of the success of the implemented activities is the number of women on candidate lists. According to the analysis conducted, the number of women on candidate lists has increased both for the County Assembly and for representative bodies for most cities in the County.
On the candidate lists for the VSC assembly in 2005, there were 22.51% women on all lists, while on the candidate lists for 2009, there were 5.51% more women (281% more).
