Summary/Abstract: The paper presents interpretations of gender-based violence in international legal standards, primarily focusing on UN and Council of Europe standards. Using a logical and linguistic method in law, it examines how gender has been interpreted in the phrase 'gender-based violence' and how understanding of its scope varies in relation to these interpretations. The specific focus of the paper is contextual interpretations in the local Bosnian discourse. This approach is motivated primarily by anti-gender campaigns in the 21st century in Europe and America (Paternotte and Kuhar, 2017, p. 7; Sosa,2021, p. 3) structured as right-wing populism that redefines and demonizes the meaning of the word gender (Graff and Korolczuk, 2022, pp. 4, 7). Anti-gender campaigns have their reflections in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the countries in the region, which is particularly evident through the interpretation of 'gender-based violence' in the translation of international standards into national legislation.
