The article presents the development of several citizenship rights of women through history (political, social and individual) and raises a question of position of women in the society where normative regulations are gender neutral, discrimination based on legislation forbidden yet discriminatory
practices still persist. The article highlights the development of citizenship rights of women which began to develop in the 19. century and argues that such a development is never linear which also proves the development of women’s rights to vote on Slovene territory. The article argues that whatpolitical and social rights have in common is perception of the citizen which
should be gender neutral, yet it is based on male gender. So the social rights were first promised to male worker – the provider of the family. However contribution asserts that at the end of 19. century also special women’s rights began to develop which were connected with the protection of the
motherhood. In this frame special turning point represents legalization of the right on abortion on demand as the individual right of women which is specially thematized in the frame of reproductive rights. Article finds out that
whole range of rights of women which are written in the constitution and legislation still have not been realized in practice. Women for example are still not yet equally present on the positions of political decision making and are in
inferior position in the area of employment and wage. Authors suggests that special measures, among them specially positive measures accepted in political sphere which present the good practice should be taken into consideration also in other areas.
