Society’s need to completely use all its human resources and capacities which are aimed at economic, social, cultural and political development is expressed through gender equality.
          Gender equality means equal representation, power and participation of both genders in all spheres of public and private life, and contribute to the harmony between genders.
          AFITU Women’s Forum was established in the beginning of the year 2000 with the aim to encourage women in their struggle for workers’, women’s, political and, above all, human rights.
          The Women’s Forum fights against poverty among women, exploitation, discrimination and violence towards women.
          Some of the main goals of the Women’s Forum are the right to equal work evaluation, without gender discrimination (i.e. equal pay for equal work) and greater women participation in management and decision-making.
          AFITU Women’s Forum is a member of the Federation of non-government organizations of Serbia.
