Support for Gender Equality: Working Groups in the Birač Region are Shaping a Future of Equal Opportunities

Members of working groups in the municipalities of Milići, Vlasenica, Srebrenica and Bratunac are currently working on the development of comprehensive action plans and strategies for the promotion of gender equality. These activities represent a key step towards achieving a more equal society in which women and men have equal roles and opportunities in all spheres of life.


Through a thorough approach, the working groups are addressing the most pressing challenges in their communities and devising concrete measures to achieve gender equality. The focus is on creating sustainable solutions that will not only improve women's position but also open up opportunities for strengthening their economic, social, and political rights.


The project aims to support local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the development of gender-sensitive policies and instruments, empowering women to be active participants in decision-making processes.


To ensure a successful outcome, the process is guided by meetings of working groups appointed by municipal authorities and relevant experts. The action plans and strategies being developed are not just documents but concrete plans for a better future, with clear goals and measures whose implementation will follow sustainable progress towards equality.

The project "Women's Rights Ambassadors for Empowerment and Change in Bosnia and Herzegovina" is funded by the European Union, and is implemented by DVV International - Country Office Bosnia and Herzegovina, Center for Education and Research NAHLA and Association SARA – Srebrenica.
