This report examines the implications of gender and gender bias within the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). In its analysis, the report looks at 1) the existence of gender-based stereotypes and attitudes among legal practitioners; 2) the ways in which these stereotypes and attitudes can lead to gender bias; and 3) how gender bias can advantage or disadvantage women or men within the court system. The report concludes with a series of recommendations on how BiH could raise awareness and challenge gender-based stereotypes in its legal system.
