Summary/Abstract: With respect to the protection against direct and indirect discrimination, The Law on Gender Equality refers the parties to use the anti-discrimination protection mechanisms defined by the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination. Sexual harassment and gender-based harassment are criminal offenses, and the Law on Gender Equality and the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination require employers to ensure all effective measures aimed at preventing the same. Bosnia and Herzegovina has also committed to harmonizing all general and special collective agreements with the provisions of the Law on Gender Equality, and an important role of unions and employers' associations in securing the protection of equal right to work regardless of gender is emphasized.
