We would like to invite you to a new feminist panel discussion; in the second series of lectures Someone Said Feminism? to be hosted by Sarajevo Open Centre with support of Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and media coverage by Dani Magazine, on the topic of Statistics, quotas or common interest; politics and women’s issue in Bosnian and Herzegovina, which will be discussed by Nermina Kapetanović, Segmedina Srna Bajramović, Ismeta Dervoz and Diana Zelenika and moderated by Dženana Alađuz.

The panel will include, inter alia, the issue of political power of women in the governmental institutions, political parties and public administration bodies as well as in other decision-making bodies and why, in the domains of state politics and economy, the women’s issue has been marginalized, while, paradoxically, the discourse on this topic has been worn out even though the situation shifts towards equality only in exceptional cases.
