Abstract

UDK: 28-67:305-055.2

The issue of gender equality in general, and the issue of the human dignity of women, in particular, represent the ground point for any activity in the sphere of the emancipation of women.  The definition of this issue is a premise for attaining the human rights of which women are deprived. Keeping this in mind, all the efforts directed towards the emancipation of women amongst Bosniaks have also triggered the issues of the value of women in regard to men and the attitude of Islam towards women in general. In this context, many Bosniak scholars have based their opinions on gender (in)equality upon the Qur’anic ayahs. This article offers a review of the writings of Bosniak scholars about gender equality, along with the interpretation of the Qur’anic views that they used to support their opinions in this regard.
