Background

The project “Preventing and Combating Sexual and Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH)” has been designed to address and prevent Violence against Women (VAW) and Sexual Violence (SV) in BIH. It builds on the work done in the area of GBV by gender institutional mechanisms *Gender Equality Agency and entity Gender Centres), UNFPA and UNDP and will provide women victims of violence, including women with special needs, access to services and protection. By supporting key duty-bearers the project aims to enable improvements in legislation through increased incorporation of recommendations aimed at satisfying obligations under international human rights mechanisms, such as the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). At the same time, by raising awareness at the local level of existing legislation, the project will facilitate better implementation of the legislation through the provision of better quality services for victims of GBV in the workplace or in the home.
