Readings of the play “Seven” have been organized more than 150 times, performed in 32 countries around the world and translated in 26 foreign languages. More than 600 women and men, including ministers, members of the European Parliament, artists, as well as the Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep, have read the play, “Seven.” Seven members of the Federation of BiH Parliament read the play. Chargé d’Affaires Paul Horowitz, speaking at the event, said: “Women are important actors in every society. Their engagement should not be limited to their role in a family. Women should be encouraged, recognized and supported in all spheres of public, political, and social life. Unfortunately today, women in many societies are left vulnerable.”
