International Women's Day, which is celebrated worldwide every year on March 8, is an opportunity to highlight the position of women in society.
Highly educated women in Bosnia and Herzegovina dominate the fields of education, health and social sciences. In the structure of employees in educational institutions during 2020, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, about 99 percent of educators worked in preschool institutions.
