Gender (In)equality in Bosnia and Herzegovina: One Step Forwards, Two Steps Back

Abstract

I don’t see gender equality in everyday life but some of us are aware of it and some not. It all depends on accepting dominant social values, norms, and gender roles, as well as fitting into gender stereotypes and expectations that society prescribes for women and men. People who don’t fit with traditional norms are ostracized. (Natalija Petrić, human rights activist and lawyer, July 9, 2013)
