Women in Elections
Aim: Strengthen women’s leadership and participation in political life.
How: In Bosnia and Herzegovina today, women are underrepresented in political decision-making bodies. The project aims to contribute to an enabling environment for getting more women elected across the board, in all spheres of decision-making in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This will enhance women’s engagement in public life and their position in decision-making processes and ensure they are given as realistic and equal chance as their men counterparts.
Why: A functioning democracy requires possibilities for all groups in the society to participate in political processes.
