Bosnia and Herzegovina is currently facing a number of humanitarian and social challenges. The situation on the Bosnian-Croatian border is particularly alarming: numerous reports document pushbacks, where people fleeing are often violently pushed back. This practice violates international law and exacerbates the already precarious situation of many people seeking protection.
Even within the country, certain groups of people are disadvantaged: in particular, people with disabilities are discriminated against by political and social structures. They hardly get any support from the state and this despite the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2010.
