Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global problem and affects the lives of both women and men. In order to make a change, it is important to seriously address this issue in the educational programs of schools and universities where different forms of GBV also occur. Universities should be safe places for everyone, but a large number of teaching and administrative staff and students still know very little about gender equality (Spahić Šiljak et al., 2022). Support, in the processes of equipping higher education, is provided to the 19 universities, through the UNIGEM project led by the TPO foundation. One of the activities within this project is the International Conference titled “Despite fear and silence: universities against gender-based violence”, which was held on May 6 and 7, 2022 at the University of Sarajevo. The papers presented at the Conference are collected and structured in this anthology.
