Bosnia and Herzegovina

“The degree of equality of women and girls in certain rights has been at a high level for decades in my country. The reason for that is that we have always believed a woman to be a pillar of the family, on the local level, as well as the carrier of development of a society, and today we are convinced that women are a major factor of reconciliation, in light of the events my country has been through. Therefore, we will even more vigorously invest efforts into further advancement of women, primarily as the best way to heal our society, mend what was broken, strengthen that pillar of the family, and provide for women's further development on the basis of full equality.”
