Croatia also has a problem with sexual and domestic violence, the root of these problems is the idea of patriarchy, which is still very prevalent in Croatia, in which the man holds all the power. Around 1800 women are raped and assaulted in Croatia every year and only about 120 cases are reported of which only 10% are prosecuted. Every third woman in Croatia has some kind of experience with sexual or physical assault.Majority of elders in croatia still believe that a woman should stay at home and be a housewife. Here in croatia, it is not unusual to be catcalled and even followed or stalked, especially if you live in smaller towns or in the countryside Young girls are often talked into sexual intercourse, which then results in pregnancy and often causes them to leave school This problem in Croatia can be solved through proper education of young people and children. Gender equality  is something Croatia still has to achieve.
