Women from BiH are leading the organization of BH Diaspora all around the world. Their contribution to the integration of BH community all over the world is primarily reflected through inclusion in the education system, fast adaptation to cooperation and integration in new communities, and the willingness to start new initiatives and work with individuals who are excluded from social and business processes.
There are numerous examples of successful women entrepreneurs from BiH who made a significant mark in companies in the US, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. Diaspora Invest brings a story about their return to BiH and investments in their homeland.
