MUSLIMANSKA TEOLOGINJA U BH. DRUŠTVU - POZICIJA I ULOGA
MUSLIM WOMAN THEOLOGIAN IN BOSNIAN AND HERZEGOVINIAN SOCIETY – POSITION AND ROLE

Summary/Abstract: This work is an attempt to present the position and the possible role of a Muslim woman theologian in Bosnian and Herzegovinian society with consideration given to the education they have acquired and their employment. This work includes data the author managed to obtain, which is indicative of the present conditions. On the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina the theological educational environment has been favourably disposed towards women who are able to acquire theological knowledge and education, including the corresponding academic titles, just as men are. Most of the women who graduate with a degree in Islamic Theological Studies in Bosnia and Herzegovina find employment in primary and secondary schools as teachers and professors of Islamic instruction. The number of women occupying important posts within the Islamic community is almost negligible. This work was presented at the round table on „the Role of a Woman Theologian in Bosnian and Herzegovinian Society“, organized by the Women's Foundation "Takva" in cooperation with the Ecumenical Women's Initiative from Croatia, held in Sarajevo in November 2009.
