• Gender mainstreaming in education in Bosnia and
  Herzegovina

OBJECTIVE

• The overall objective of the masters programme
  Gender Studies is the education of generations
  of experts, who will contribute, through their
  efforts and promotion of gender equality, to the
  construction of a social infrastructure where a
  woman will be, not only formally, but really
  equal. This course should, more precisely,
  contribute to the following
• Support to prospective human resources who will
  work on the promotion of the gender equality
  perspective in all laws and policies
• Promotion of non-discriminatory procedures, as a
  basic precondition for awareness raising of all
  citizens about human rights and equal rights of
  both sexes
• Education of the generation of experts from the
  area of gender studies, who will promote, through
  their efforts and promotion of gender equality, a
  different understanding of the society, which
  contains a female dimension.

Target group

• The Programme is intended for persons who
  completed the undergraduate studies in humanities
  and social sciences, and who wish to participate
  in construction of a social infrastructure where
  a woman would be, not only formally, but
  genuinely equal. Persons who work, not only in
  scientific institutions, but also in other kind
  of institutions, such as state administration,
  non-governmental organisations, media, etc, can
  apply for the Programme. The Course will be
  mainly promoted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a
  possibility of limited participation of students
  from other regions of former Yugoslavia, who
  actively use one of the official BiH languages.

Approach

• The basis for such a wide scope of professions
  acceptable for application to this Programme is
  the interdisciplinary approach to gender
  category, from the aspect of the Programme
  structure itself and lecturers involved in the
  programme. This approach is considered to be the
  best one for the comprehensive understanding of
  problems of the inferior position of women in
  society, which is based on gender inequality.
  Each participant in the programme will have an
  opportunity to contribute to the understanding of
  the topic from ones own point of view, as well
  as to promote the acquired knowledge at the end
  of the postgraduate studies within different
  segments of the state and society. This approach
  only can lead to qualitative changes, because it
  affects all segments of social life. .
