In September 2024, Innovative Women of Serbia (IWS) conducted an extensive research study aimed at shedding light on the gender and labor rights of women in Serbia, with a particular emphasis on the *IT sector. This groundbreaking study, which surveyed 1,200 respondents from various industries and regions, aimed to provide a comprehensive and fair insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by women in professional settings.

Key Findings and Insights
The research revealed critical issues related to gender inequalities, workplace challenges, and opportunities for improving professional conditions for women. Some of the most pressing findings include:

– Persistent gender disparities in salaries and career progression, particularly in male-dominated industries such as IT.
– Workplace challenges, including bias, lack of mentorship opportunities, and insufficient family-friendly policies.
– Opportunities for change through improved policies, corporate initiatives, and advocacy efforts aimed at fostering gender equity.

By highlighting these challenges, the study aims to provide a foundation for policymakers, businesses, and organizations to *create a more equitable work environment* for women in Serbia.

Event Highlights and Next Steps
To share these significant findings, IWS hosted an exclusive event bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and gender equality advocates. The event featured panel discussions, expert talks, and networking opportunities, fostering dialogue on actionable steps toward greater inclusivity in the workplace.

Through this study and the discussions that followed, IWS aims to drive concrete initiatives and policy recommendations that will support the empowerment of women across all industries. This research marks a crucial step toward gender equality and professional advancement for women in Serbia and beyond.
