On December 01, 2015 the promotion of the publication “Gender Stereotypes:Sounds Familiar?’, exposition of the comics from ‘Bogey FemiTeaching’ edition and performance ‘Cut’ were organized at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Zenica within the international campaign ’16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence’. The promoters were the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Damir Kukić, PhD, who was also one of the reviewers, assistant professor Edisa Gazetić, Lamija Begagić, one of the co-authors of this publication.
The whole occasion was opened with the performance ‘Cut’ performed by the actresses of the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo and they showed us the emotional state of a violence victim with body language. After it, the part of promotion itself came to the stage. The promoters reflected on the publication from various aspects and emphasized the appliance of the same once again in the primary and secondary schools’ educational processes in order to raise awareness on gender stereotypes that are part of our daily life and habits that need to be changed radically. The discussion that followed, as well as the torrent of questions that gave the dynamics to the whole promotion and a proof that this very initiative was an extremely good hit because due to its accessibility and immediacy it can help all those who think or they are on that way in order to direct themselves more easily on the crucial problematic points of this issue.
<br /> Beside this, the thing that always draws the greatest interest, particularly that of young participants is the “Bogey Femi Teaching” comics’ edition and so it was this time as well. Professors and students stopped, discussed and posed readily and smiling in front of the exposed comics.
<br /> This was one more in the series of activities implemented by TPO Foundation Sarajevo in cooperation with its partners in order to raise awareness on gender based violence and how to start treat it as a relevant social problem.
