Could you explain much more the question? Are you interested more in religion interpretation of the position of women or in the social situation? I cant say anything about religion, because it is not my research area. From the sociological perspective in Poland we don't have discrimination but some indicatiors describes a kind of gender inequality

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, on the position of women.

This is my personal opinion based on my observation and not studies of the women in the Balkans. In case of Christian societies, if we go back to Adam and Eve, we got a huge problem with the apple and the rib. First, the woman convinced Adam to eat the apple of wisdom (the only forbidden thing in the paradise for Adam and Eve) and they get kicked out of the paradise. So, the acceptance of the woman's opinion by the "naive" man led to the misery of all the subsequent humankind. Second, Eve was made to be a companion for Adam so he wouldn't be lonely. She was made from Adam's rib (anatomically men have one rib less then women). This implies that the woman is only a part of the man and as such cannot exist independent of him. These myths, about woman's destructive irrationality and her being a part of a man, leads to the need for men to be strong against women's attempts to influence mens decision (as women's opinion is flawed and will lead to the destruction of the gropu). The part about the rib, those who accept and justify it, believe something in accordance with this: the woman is a part of the man and as such he is to protect her and she is to be thankful to him for his protection. This results in excluding women from decision-making regarding the family, society, state, planet, universe; defining appropriate behaviour for women to be there to tend to and care for their male protectors (husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles; male soldiers...), to support those hard working men who suffer because once upon a time one of them had been naive enough to accept a woman's opinion (leading to the doom of the humankind). On the other side, men are expected to protect women who are a part of them and who they have to accept (oh, the perfect God decided it and they can't go around questioning the wisdom of the God, so they can only go and bear their cross because they are oh so good-obeying and God-loving males... they can't help doing it in a patronising way, though, but hey, still they are being so nice and generous!).

And I would add some irony here based on the life my grandmother had (And was the some life! The treatment of women on the Balkans until my mother's generation was in many places something like: if you-don't-like-her-you-beat-her-to-death-and-get-yourself-another-one-and-no-one-will-mind). I'm afraid that men did not "protect" women as much as they failed to exterminate them. Women are necessary evil if you want to have suns and new men, and physically and emotionally they have proven too resilient to disappear.

Many people complaint about the Communism, but, with all its flaws, the communism brought immense improvement for women in former Yugoslavia. The Communists made such a great cultural changes that in the following decade or so it became normal for women and girls to have education, free access to healthcare, job outside of the house, to choose their marital partner freely. Everyone complains that the Communism did not allow people to diverge from the Party's politics, but in the case of Yugoslavia, there was much more liberty then in other communistic societies and women were for the fist time in the country's history included in the decision-making in any formal way. 

Today, there is a spontaneous return to the old religious values after the crash of the Communism. Women, and, what is interesting, girls especially, are insisting in old division of roles between a supporting woman and a protecting man. They are willingly renouncing freedoms women gained during the 1990s. I find this to be a very interesting trend. The young generation of women in Bosnia for example is much more conservative then their mother's generation (women 50+), and this goes for all religious groups (christian and muslim). 

Sorry for the long post.
