In Bosnia and Herzegovina there are different types of discrimination present in various aspects of everyday life, especially among vulnerable groups, such as women, Romas, persons with disabilities and LGBTQ population. Although adoption of the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination is an important step in combating and eliminating all forms of discrimination in BiH, certain legal solutions/laws are not in the best interest of victims of discrimination. Furthermore, antidiscrimination laws are not applied to the full extent and sufficiently due to the number of problems occurring in practice.

 

Since June 2014, Mediacentar Sarajevo in cooperation with the Center for Social Research Analitika, Prava za sve and Vaša prava BiH implements the four-years long project “Equality for All - Civil Society Coalition against Discrimination” financed by USAID and Open Society Fund. The overall goal of the project titled “Equality for All - Civil Society Coalition against Discrimination” (EfA) is to prevent and combat discrimination in BiH by promoting the active involvement of CSOs and citizens in antidiscrimination.

 

The project focuses on promoting the active role of CSOs in preventing and combating discrimination in BiH, as well as on advocating for improvements and effective implementation of the legal framework regulating this field.
