On November 15, Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly in cooperation with the Foundation United Women held one more presentation of the Guidelines for the Prevention of Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment which was adopted by UNI BL in 2020.
Students of the Academy took part in the discussion with great attention, sharing experiences of sexual and gender-based harassment that they or their loved ones encountered. The students emphasized that gender-based harassment is present through peer violence in primary and secondary schools, and that the adoption of a similar internal act should be initiated through primary and secondary education as well.
We organized the presentation of the Guidelines as part of the project “Banja Luka – A City with Zero Tolerance for Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment – Phase II”, which is supported by UN Women Bosnia and Herzegovina and financed by Sweden, and which is implemented in BL by the Foundation United Women.
