Summary/Abstract: Anti-gender policies and practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) are present across various social, economic and political spheres, shaped by cultural norms, religious teachings and tradition. Within this framework, women from marginalised groups, such as Roma women, face double discrimination – based on both gender and ethnicity, as well as due to traditional and religious influences. These women are pushed to the margins of society not only because of racism, but also because of gender roles that restrict them from exercising their everyday rights and participating fully in society.
