However, neither the idealizations are justified in the first segment, nor is the leveling of what has been done so far justified in the second. It can be stated beforehand that the legislation was built on genderless legislation that has been subsequently subjected to attempts to be corrected through mechanisms of special protection of women's human rights. However, the very language used in the BiH Constitution reflects the image of social reality and establishes future discriminatory practices. The exclusive use of male gender as a paradigm of political subjectivity, women are symbolically excluded from the contract, just as they were previously excluded from creating the content. The "Women Citizens for Constitutional Changes" Initiative in 2013 has submitted the Platform of Women's Priorities for Constitutional Changes1, where the use of gender-sensitive language is listed as the first of the five defined priorities. Also, the Agency for Gender Equality of BiH (AGE BiH) has made a set of amendments2 to the BiH Constitution and the 1 Platform of women's priorities for Constitutional changes with
