This report forms part of a multicountry comparative assessment undertaken by USAID's Center for Development Information and Evaluation (CDIE) in the context of a series of evaluative studies on the political and social rehabilitation of war-torn societies. A growing body of literature exists on the gender dimensions of conflict and the various roles that women play during wartime. This paper seeks to contribute to this work, in particular by examining the impact of conflict on gender in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After a brief background on the country context and the nature of the conflict, section 2 outlines the effects of conflict on gender experienced in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
