Women are the biggest victims of the Montenegrin reality. Presented as the "weaker sex", experienced through the traditional understanding of the division of roles and importance, they were pushed to the margins as the most numerous invisible population, while March 8 was turned into a grotesque celebration of inequality.
This is the position of the leading activists of women's non-governmental organizations who expressed their revolt because of the need, as they said, for several generations of government to turn publicly proclaimed equality policies into decorum, while on the other hand, serious problems that women face every day are pushed under the carpet. I will meet.

Ljiljana Raičević: I don't want to be Krivokapić's decor
The director of the Safe Women's House, Ljiljana Raičević, said that she refused the invitation of the Speaker of the Parliament, Ranko Krivokapić, to come to the open session in the parliament building and to ask the pre-sent question in the scheduled two minutes:
"Neoliberal policy is an ideological platitude for the unscrupulous destruction of social and natural resources""That's the attitude of official institutions towards the women's issue - to be informed in advance, then they will respond democratically... I refuse to be Krivokapić's decorum".
For ANIMA director Ljupka Kovačević, a significant problem lies in the cooperation between the civil sector and the executive:
"Since we spoke publicly about the manipulations related to the implementation of gender policies (delay with the CEDAW report, bad law on gender equality, even worse NAP that expires and not even a third has been implemented, lack of LAPs), they exclude us from the public space ".
In Montenegro, claims Kovačević, neoliberal policy is an ideological platitude for the unscrupulous destruction of social and natural resources: "8. March should be given back its significance and meaning as a political holiday: an anti-fascist, anti-nationalist, anti-clericalist holiday for social justice, development of peace and equality".
