From the very outset of women in society, they were not in equal position with men. But with time, the position of a woman changes, and today it is significantly different from the past. In the past, their position was very difficult because most people thought they were home, they should not appear on the streets, in society, let alone in politics. With the development of society, significant advances have been made regarding the position of women in the labor market. Regardless of what the centenary of women have started to fight for the right to vote, and the possibility of working outside the household, we are still discriminated against in all areas of the labor market, in all sectors and in all professions. Regardless of the high level of education and expertise of women, they are still discriminated against in terms of employment, wages and further progress. Special attention was paid to the unfavorable position of women in politics due to the small number of women in executive bodies, county assemblies, ambassadorial, parliamentary and other high positions in politics, which is not only a problem in Croatia but in almost all countries of the world.
