Feminism developed in Serbia through different periods - in the pre-communist period, feminist groups advocated for equality and moral codes but were largely ignored. During communism, feminist scholarship and critiques emerged and women gained rights like anti-nationalism and voting. As Yugoslavia broke apart in the 1990s due to war and "ethnic cleansing", feminist groups like Women for Peace and Mothers' Protest organized against violence while others like Women in Black memorialized victims through protest. Today, some feminist groups continue operating but searches for others found no current information.
