This is an English summary of the Hungarian publication: NÕÜGYEK 2018. Társadalmi problémák és megoldási stratégiák published by FES Budapest in May 2018.

Based on a representative poll and group interviews, the two authors, Anikó Gregor und Eszter Kováts, wanted to find out what „ women ’ s affairs ” are for Hungarian women and what does the society, what do women and men think about these affairs. It maps up the difficulties and obstacles women are confronted with in everyday life; what language is used, to what extent is this the expression of gender inequality and if the way these problems are addressed compares to the approach of activists and politicians dealing with the situation of women. It is also discussed to what extent the topics dominating the public discourse and the most frequent messages of politics and movements targeted at women are reflected in women ’ s own stories. The study also shows where they expect help from for their most burning problems and what they think of the role of their partners, families, the smaller communities, NGOs, employers and politics.
