We remind you that the strategic areas of GAP at the University of Zenica are: institutional culture of gender equality, which is implemented and promoted in the processes and decision-making system through gender equality policies, increasing gender equality in support of scientific and artistic work, harmonization of the working environment, integration of the gender perspective into study programs through increased education in the field of gender equality, especially education about the consequences of violence against women as well as gender/sex-based violence in general.

The Advisory board for gender equality of the University of Zenica was presented with a table for reporting according to the goals and indicators of the GAP, which as a tool of the UNIGEM project will help the University to more easily monitor the implementation of the institutional GAP.
