Summary/Abstract: Gender studies or (legal) Gender Theory, sometimes also as a teaching scientific discipline also called Feminist Jurisprudence, examines basic legal principles such as justice, equality, conditions and situations of possession or deprivation of rights, etc., which are relevant for all legal areas, viewed through the prism of specific differences between female and male needs and demands, as well as the relationship between women and men in the social and legal environment. It is inevitable to observe the fact that although laws have clear pretensions to represent the interests of all human beings, women are sidelined, silenced, misinterpreted, underprivileged and subordinated, inadequately protected from violence and discrimination of various kinds through the passing and formulation of laws and their application by men.
