Language is a highly important social element that affects its actors, and as such is a noteworthy indicator of whether and to what extent gender equality is represented in a particular society. This paper is researching gender sensitive language with a focus on the legal framework for its use in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the outset of this paper, we defined gendersensitive language and gave the explanation why its usage in official and unofficial language is significant. Furthermore, the legal framework for the use of gender-sensitive language in Bosnia and Herzegovina is reviewed with a focus on the work of B&H experts in the field of linguistics, and we analysed the instructions on the use of gender-sensitive language used by institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is to elaborate the concept of gender-sensitive language, why it is an important part of every society when it comes to gender equality and how the use of gender sensitive language in Bosnia and Herzegovina is standardized.
