“Career and Mom – CAM2025” project contributes to establishing a balance between the professional and private lives of women with children by advocating for changes in the strategic and legislative framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), particularly in the area of maternity rights. As a project partner, IFDT conducted a detailed analysis of the relevant normative framework and previous research in this field. The institute also carried out an online survey and focus group discussions to understand the real-world situation, needs, and barriers that women in BiH face in reconciling work and parenthood. The outcome of this entire research process is a document that, in addition to significant findings and conclusions, contains recommendations for the advocacy process before decision-makers.
