Women feel more insecure in Sarajevo in their local communities than in Banja Luka and Mostar

FENA Kanita Aliagić

SARAJEVO, February 14 (FENA) - The results of the research conducted by the Center for Security Studies (CSS) BiH on the topic 'Women's safety in local communities' show that women have a more positive opinion of female police officers they meet on the street than of male police officers.

The results of the research on the factors that affect the safety of women in local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and their perception of police officers and other security issues were presented today at the press conference. A representative sample, in which 206 women participated, was made for Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Mostar.

CSS President Denis Hadžović, Member of the FBiH Parliament and President of the Gender Equality Commission of the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament Alma Kratina, Member of the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament and President of the Security Commission Dragan Mioković, and Director of the Agency for Gender Equality of the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees BiH Samra Filipović-Hadžiabdić participated in the conference.

They emphasized that one of the important aspects is security in the local community, and in this sense, the research results showed that women feel more unsafe in Sarajevo in their local communities than in Banja Luka and Mostar.

The research results show that about 71 percent of women did not report the harassment they experienced, 65 percent of women experienced inappropriate comments and teasing, almost 25 percent experienced stalking, and 11 percent of women were victims of physical violence.

This project aims to point out to society, especially representatives of the security sector, and legislative and executive authorities, the perception of security from the position of women.

The participants agreed that it is necessary to enact stricter laws regarding sanctions and punishments for all forms of harassment and assault in order to reduce their occurrence.
