About our work

BiH Banner Image 2

UN Women has been present in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2008 when it set up a project office that was strengthened to a Country Office with a resident representative in 2013. The work for gender equality and women’s empowerment focuses on three main areas: gender-responsive governance and leadership, ending violence against women, and women’s economic empowerment.

UN Women supports BiH as it adopts global standards to achieve gender equality and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programs, and services to implement these standards. It coordinates the International Working Group on Gender Equality, a platform where embassies and international organizations exchange information about their work on gender equality and the empowerment of women and their activities in the country. UN Women also chairs the UNCT Gender Theme Group, which ensures gender mainstreaming across UNCT by conducting system wide assessments of progress in GEWE.
