The University Gender Resource Centre (UNIGeRC) has been established at the Human Rights Centre of the University of Sarajevo as a body to coordinate activities in the fields of gender equality and combating gender-based violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination in higher education institutions, with the goal of improving work quality and ensuring the integrity of higher education.

The main goal of UNIGeRC is to make faculties a safe place for teaching staff, students, and everyone else who is a member of this community by incorporating gender equality into the higher education system on a large scale. UNIGeRC was also established with the goal of providing teaching staff, students, and administrative staff with up-to-date knowledge about various fields where awareness of the concept of gender is required to increase their knowledge and responsible action in their environment. We believe that the interdisciplinarity of knowledge about gender equality that UNIGeRC will provide through educational programs, develop through research work, and transmit through a rich library can help to prevent gender-based violence and discrimination in higher education institutions, and thus reduce it in society as a whole.
