Violence against Women: Do the Governments Care? NGO Report on the Bosnia and Herzegovina Response
11/30/2007 4:23 PMThe VAW Monitoring Program of the Open Society Institute invited the 24 National VAW Monitors of StopVAW (NGOs working in the field of violence against women) to map the situation in their countries on violence against women, with special regard to the state response to it.
The monitoring methodology was based on Recommendation (2002)5 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the protection of women against violence. As a result of the monitoring, a country report on Bosnia and Herzegovina has been prepared. This report issues clear recommendations to the Bosnian and Herzegovinan government, serving as an effective tool for advocacy at the national and international level.
