05/31/2007 Kako su krajem prošlog tjedna prenijeli mediji, Anna Maria Grünfelder, katolička teologinja poznata po javnom izražavanju kritičkih stavova prema Katoličkoj crkvi u Hrvatskoj, povukla se iz javnosti i neće više davati izjave za medije.

05/30/2007 During last week’s debate in the Sabor (Croatian Parliament) on the report submitted by Gender Equality Ombudsperson, Karmela Caparin, an MP from the ruling HDZ (Croatian Democratic Community), said that there is more discrimination in labour and employment now, compared to previous years. In her view, the main cause for such regression is the insufficient public visibility of the work done by the Ombudsperson. The Croatian Women Network reacted strongly to that statement, but also to the debate in general.

05/29/2007 U prošlotjednoj parlamentarnoj raspravi o izvještaju pravobraniteljice za ravnopravnost spolova Karmela Caparin (zastupnica vladajućeg HDZ-a) izjavila je da diskriminacije na području rada i zapošljavanja ima više nego ranijih godina, a uzrok toga je prema njezinom mišljenju nedovoljno vidljiv rad pravobraniteljice u javnosti. Na ovu izjavu, kao i cjelokupnu raspravu, reagirala je Zenska mreza Hrvatske.

The said commercial depicts a woman coming home with bags filled with groceries – after she went to hairdresser to get done for her man – but he totally ignores her showing interest only for beer bottles.

05/22/2007 Pravobraniteljica za ravnopravnost spolova i vladino Povjerenstvo za praćenje i procjenu provedbe politike ravnopravnosti spolova objavili su danas reakcije na reklamu za Ožujsko pivo Zagrebačke pivovare sa sloganom "Žuja zakon br. 11: Muškarci primjećuju samo bitno". Reklama prikazuje ženu koja dolazi kući ruku punih vrećica s namirnicama - pošto je bila kod frizera i uredila se za svog muškarca - no on je potpuno ignorira pokazujući interes jedino za pivske boce.

05/22/2007 Ako pogledamo zakonsku razinu zaštite prava radnika u Hrvatskoj, bez puno dvojbi ćemo zaključiti kako je ona u najvećoj mjeri zadovoljavajuća, čak i prema standardima Evropske unije. Zakonom o radu zabranjeni su svi oblici diskriminacije osoba koje traže zaposlenje ili su zaposlene - od diskriminacije na temelju rase i boje kože, porodičnih obaveza i dobi do diskriminacije prema spolu, pa i spolnom opredjeljenju.
