Istanbul Convention in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Alternative Reporting – Istanbulska konvencija u Bosni i Hercegovini: Alternativno izvještavanje
3 April 2018 – Civil society organizations active in the field of women’s human rights protection and gender equality are preparing for the alternative reporting on implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Prevention and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention)
At the end of March 2018, Foundation United Women Banja Luka and the Citizens’ Association Medica from Zenica organized two capacity building workshops for women civil society activists from Bosnia and Herzegovina for monitoring implementation of the Istanbul Convention and preparing the Alternative Report to the GREVIO Committee. Women participants had the opportunity to learn about experiences of other countries that already prepared alternative reports on implementation of the Istanbul Convention, and contribute to the development of indicators for monitoring situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These activities are implemented with support of UNWOMEN Program “Ending Violence Against Women: Implementing Norms, Changing Minds.“
GREVIO recently announced that in June 2018, Bosnia and Herzegovina will receive the questionnaire for preparing baseline response on implementation of the Istanbul Convention, and deadline for the state response is November, 2019.
3 april 2018 – Organizacije civilnog društva u Bosni i Hercegovini aktivne u oblasti zaštite ženskih ljudskih prava i rodne ravnopravnosti se pripremaju za alternativno izvještavanje o primjeni Konvencije Savjeta Evrope o sprečavanju i suzbijanju nasilja prema ženama i nasilja u porodici (Istanbulska konvencija)
Fondacija Udružene žene Banja Luka i Udruženje građana Medica iz Zenice su krajem marta organizovale dvije radionice izgradnje kapaciteta aktivistkinja civilnog društva za praćenje primjene Istanbulske konvencije i pripreme alternativnog izvještaja GREVIO Komitetu. Učesnice su imale priliku da saznaju o iskustvima drugih zemalja koje su već radile alternativne izvještaje o primjeni Istanbulske konvencije i doprinesu razvoju indikatora za praćenje stanja u Bosni i Hercegovini. Ove aktivnosti se provode uz podršku UNWOMEN programa „Zaustavljanje nasilja prema ženama: Implementiranje normi, mijenjanje stavova.“
GREVIO je nedavno objavio da će Bosna i Hercegovina primiti upitnik za pripremu državnog odgovora za početnu procjenu primjene Istanbulske konvencije u junu 2019 godine, a rok za slanje odgovora je novembar 2019 godine.
