Bosnia‑Herzegovina domestic violence reforms

Entities: Adnan Delić · Budget of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina · Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina · Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Policy · SOS telephone line for victims of domestic violence

Overview

In late July 2026 the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina intensified its response to family and gender‑based violence. On 22 July, officials highlighted a suite of new laws – a register for sexual‑offence offenders, a protective framework for victims, and criminal‑code amendments – together with a 2024‑2027 prevention strategy and increased resources for police, social services, health, education and the judiciary.

Five days later, on 27 July, the Federation issued detailed regulations for its SOS hotline (number 1265). The rule defines all six phases of a call, mandates qualified operators with specialised training, and secures dedicated budget funding. It also establishes privacy, documentation, and inter‑institutional cooperation standards, aiming to make assistance to victims more consistent and sustainable across the entity.
