Estonia enacted a gender equality law in 2004, however, women’s organizations continue to struggle to have the law implemented by government authorities. Estonia has not been involved in large-scale conflict or war since it regained independence from the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Estonia acceded to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 1991 and is ranked 26 out of 153 listed countries on the 2020 Global Gender Gap Index (GGI). Estonian women require more support from the international community to pressure its government to implement a comprehensive, sustainable approach to achieving gender equality. In 2015, $457 mln was spent by Estonia on its military. Recently, in October 2016, Estonia elected it’s first women president, Kersti Kaljulaid. Estonia also has demonstrated efforts to put gender equality on the agenda in schools with the ‘intergrating gender into teacher education and training’ project, however, Estonia still has ways to ago in achieving a gender just society.
