"We gathered to protest against prejudices, discrimination and marginalisation," Samira Zunic Velagic, one of the protest organisers, told the crowd.
"The ban of wearing hijab in judicial insititious is a serious attack against Muslim honour, personality and identity, a violation...Aimed at depriving them of their right to work," she added.
The protest was sparked by a recent decision of Bosnia's high judicial council, a body tasked with supervising the functioning of the judiciary, to ban "religious signs" in judicial institutions.
The protesters marched for around an hour through the capital's centre carrying banners that read "Hijab is my Daily Choice," "Hijab is my Right" or "Hijab is my Life."
