Summary/Abstract: The text offers a short comparative insight into participation of religious women in two largest religious institutions in Germany. Catholic and Protestant churches in Germany show that active participation of women in the works of religious community is essential. The Catholic Church employs 20. 000 of women, that is nuns, whereas the Protestant Church in its legislative, executive, administrative and consulting bodies gives equal rights of membership. The intention of this article is to initiate the movement that would bring about employment and participation of a larger number of women within the main bodies of the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
