On the occasion of World Children’s Day, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina would like to remind all institutions and individuals of their responsibility to protect children from any and all forms of discrimination. Although BiH has ratified and endorsed multiple treaties and commitments that protect the rights of children, 13% of parents responding to a 2023 public perception survey commissioned by the Mission stated that their child feels uncomfortable in school because of their gender, ethnicity, social background, language, religious beliefs, economic status or disability.
We must continue working together to protect all children from discrimination and ensure that their educational experiences are inclusive, inspiring and motivating.
