Smile of Shame performance brochure
About project:
This performance has been developed by the joint project entitled: Women lead the way towards peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina, under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary General’s Peacebuilding Fund.
The overall goal of the project is to advance the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda through the amplified agency of women in sustaining peace and social cohesion and the improved delivery of services for conflict-affected and marginalized women in BiH. It rests on the key concept of human security, which emphasizes the interlinkages between peace, development and human rights. Human security is a multidimensional concept that extends beyond traditional notions of national security to focus on the well-being of individuals and communities. It encompasses a range of concerns such as economic stability, food security, health, environmental sustainability, as well as protection from violence and oppression. By adopting a people centered approach, human security aims to empower individuals and communities to mitigate vulnerabilities and enhance resilience, thereby contributing to sustainable development and peac It also focuses on strengthening the relevant institutions involved in the implementation of the UNSCR 1325 as well as strengthening women’s and girls’ voices, agency and partnerships in addressing key human security concerns that are affecting their well-being and socioeconomic position. Building on this perspective,the project will contribute to improving policies and services for women, especially for the conflict affected and marginalized, enabling them to strengthen participation in and accountability of local governance and addressing more effectively their human security needs, thus contributing to the localized implementation of the WPS agenda in BiH.

Analysis of compliance of the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Directive (EU) 2019/1158 on work-life balance for parents and carers
Although there are numerous relevant international standards in this sphere, which should be adhere to and implemented in order to create a framework of gender-responsive family policies, and which would create equal opportunities for women to participate equally in the labour market1, the focus of the overview of obligations, for the purposes of this analysis, is placed on the standards of the European Union law, which are certainly a reflection of other relevant international obligations in this area.
