      The Croatian Government accepted the new National Policy for Promotion
of Gender Equality 2006 – 2010.

      "The strategy offers a number of measures that should contribute to
the advancement of women on the job market, prevention of violence against
women and elimination of stereotypes from school books," commented Jadranka
Kosor, vice-president of the Government after the session of the
Economic-Social Council of the Government of Croatia.

      She also reminded people of the fact that women comprise up to 60% of
all unemployed people in the Republic of Croatia and that their salaries are
on average 20% lower than the salaries of their male counterparts.
