The project will be financially supported by USAID and builds on the USAID LGBTI Global Development Partnership in support of LGBTI human rights and equality around the world.
The overall project objective is to strengthen the capacities of the Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina in promotion and enforcement of human rights. In particular, the intervention will focus on strengthening capacities of the institution of the Ombudsman office to deliver a Special Report of the on access to rights by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons. The report, first of this kind, will not only identify and assess the root systemic and legislative flaws contributing to and perpetuating the human rights violations against the LGBTI but also chart the roadmap for mitigating the identified gaps and raise awareness of the key stakeholders and general public to prevent recurrence of human right breaches against this population.
Despite an increase in violence, attacks and threats towards LGBTI persons and human rights defenders, only a limited number of cases are reported to the authorities. Effective protection of human rights in BiH is undermined by procedural hurdles and the uneven implementation of the anti-discrimination legislation, and the LGBTI community continues to be subject to human rights violations.

The Ombudsman Office has special powers and jurisdiction under the anti-discrimination law, and within its jurisdiction monitors legislation, but also receives complaints on discrimination, instructs persons about their rights, options for judicial and other protections, collects and analyses statistical data, and submits annual reports on discrimination.
