Violence against women in the Republic of North Macedonia is the most common form of human rights violation, and women's safety is thus a high-priority public health problem. There have been significant achievements in the area of policy development: legislation harmonization for human rights protection, prevention of violence against women, protocols for the treatment and support of female victims, especially those with disabilities, and further collaboration and coordination between different sectors. In practice, there is still a need to establish a system of institutions for effective prevention, protection, gathering of evidence, and support of women victims of gender-based violence in addition to the prosecution of perpetrators. Policies for the improvement of women's safety should be considered as a priority and undertaken at an individual, relationship, community, and society level.
在北马其顿共和国，针对妇女的暴力是最常见的侵犯人权形式，因此妇女安全是一个高度优先的公共卫生问题。在政策制定方面取得了重大成就：人权保护立法协调、预防针对妇女的暴力、对女性受害者，特别是残疾女性受害者的治疗和支持议定书，以及不同部门之间的进一步合作和协调。在实践中，除了起诉犯罪者之外，还需要建立一个有效的预防、保护、收集证据和支持基于性别的暴力妇女受害者的机构系统。改善妇女安全的政策应被视为优先事项，并在个人、关系、社区和社会层面上加以实施。
