ŽENE SU NOSITELJICE POZITIVNIH PROMJENA U DRUŠTVU
WOMEN-THE BEARERS OF POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: The article relates about the necessity of implementing an institutional discourse about women in “living Islam”. Positive social changes and fascinating results were evident every time this necessity was understood as an imperative. Certainly, the requirement for such change is the existence of real women potential and competence. Not for the sake of quotas and percentages of course. The message from the ceremony of Nobel Peace Prize Award in Stockholm, where three ladies were given the awards and one of them was a Muslim Tawakul Karman from Yemen, is that the world will not achieve lasting peace and democracy for as long as women are not given the same opportunities as men. These are in fact the principles of Islam expressed in the Western manner and at the same time they represent a strong appeal to the Muslim authorities to take some action in this regard. But it is at the same time, an appeal to us living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to us in the Islamic Community of BiH to consider a new innovative approach towards women; in itself it is a great challenge as it involves other issues as well that can be solved along the way.
