For my LinkedIn people that use Bosnian, Croatian, Montengrin, Serbian: Da li su jednakost i ravnopravnost sinonimi, i zašto nisu 😊 www.linkedin.com/pulse/jednak...
Jednakost i ravnopravnost nisu isto: zašto je važno kako govorimo o položaju žena i muškaraca
U javnim raspravama na našem jeziku često se pojmovi jednakost i ravnopravnost koriste kao da znače isto. Na prvi pogled, razlika može djelovati samo 'jezički' ili terminološki.

Parity now! - the latest campaign of the European Women’s Lobby. Privileged to contribute to their side event on the margins of #CSW70, presenting @odihr.pl lessons and our Gender Parity Roadmap, discussing with women politicians and CSO leaders from all around Europe 🇪🇺 @petrabayr.bsky.social
For lasting peace and security, women must have a seat at the table and a say in decision-making. But too often they do not. ODIHR spoke at a CSW70 side event with partners from Poland and Ukraine on practical ways to strengthen women’s role in politics, peace and security.
Our first co-organised side event at the #CSW70 took place yesterday in New York! ✨🇺🇳 At Women at the table, I stressed: there is no meaningful Women, Peace and Security agenda without gender parity in politics. ⚖️ 🙏 Poland 🇵🇱 & Ukraine 🇺🇦 #CSW70 #WPS #GenderParity #ODIHR
On this day 10 years ago, we launched the 50% campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦, demanding women and men be placed consecutively on candidate lists. For us, it was always about equality, fairness and democracy. 10 years later, the fight continues. #IWD #ParityDemocracy ✨
🕊️⚖️@odihr.pl's core message is simple: peace and security decision-making cannot be credible without gender parity. Join Poland, Ukraine & ODIHR for a common side event. 🙏@katarzynakot.bsky.social 📩 For details: unwomen.org/en/csw/csw70... ✅ Register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
