Summary/Abstract: Even though there are no international or national documents that would allow or encourage unjustified differences in treatment between women and men, the fact is that some areas of life are still seen as belonging to men. Sports are, certainly, at the top of that ladder. It is considered a predominantly male field, shaped according to men and seen through the eyes of men. However, with the development of human rights and the mechanism for their protection, the awareness of the equality of women and men in sports has increased. The Republic of Serbia made a set of legal rules regarding: (1) discrimination in general; (2) sports; and, finally, (3) discrimination in sports. This paper aims to present and analyse the normative and strategic frame of the protection against discrimination in sports, to examine the current case law in front of the relevant institutions, and to point out the latest tendencies in the field of gender equality and sports.
