The Autonomous Women's Center (AWC) participated in the public consultation on the Draft Programme for the Prevention and Protection of Children from Violence for the period 2026–2030 and its accompanying Action Plan for 2026–2028. Our analysis of these documents shows that the proposed measures do not provide a sufficiently strong basis for improving the child protection system or ensuring accessible and effective support services for children affected by violence. Nor do they ensure compliance with Serbia's international obligations.

The Autonomous Women's Center (AWC) participated in the public consultation on the Draft Decision amending the Gender Equality Strategy 2021–2030 and its accompanying Action Plan for 2026–2027.

Instead, they lower the level of ambition, weaken institutional accountability, and move further away from the objective of achieving substantive progress in gender equality in Serbia.
