UN Women BiH - Meet the BiH activists – women who inspire

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, on March 8 (FENA) - United Nations agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the occasion of International Women's Day, presented 10 women activists who work to improve the lives of women in their communities and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals to which the world, including BiH, has committed.

The United Nations agencies called on the BiH public in February to name the women that inspire with their work, and the campaign's aim is to show different aspects of women's activism, including women in the villages, in sport, preventing gender-based violence, women's political participation, and their role in building peace and security.

The struggle for human rights is not a simple process, it does not last a day or a month, and activists around the world remind of this daily.

Activists from BiH who shared their stories, focusing on the importance of March 8 and the steps that BiH society must undertake in the realization of gender equality are: Indira Bajramović, Samira Hurem, Sanja Živković, Maja Gačić, Ranka Ninković-Papić, Hata Hurem and the women of Kruščica, Sabiha Husić, Emina Bošnjak, Stela Kapidžić and Danka Zelić.

UN Women emphasizes that BiH is still a traditional society in which women are struggling every day for a better position. They say that lower wages, longer periods of unemployment, are just a few problems women are facing, but that women's daily lives show that opportunities are immense and that fighting for equality is not in vain.
