SARAJEVO, 29 July 2022 - The OSCE Mission to BiH supports the crucial role of political parties in creating an enabling environment for women in politics.
We find inappropriate the recent insults directed against women politicians based on their physical appearance. Sexism, attacks and harassment deter women from engaging in political life, expressing their opinions and actively contributing to decision-making.
The Mission calls on all political parties to ensure zero tolerance for gender-based harassment and sexism.
