In the Human Rights House in Sarajevo, on 30 October, a public debate / round table "Respect diversity - equality for women" was held , which presented the results and problems of the campaign "Violence against women and domestic violence- general social condemnation”.

 This campaign was carried out between November 2014 and October 2015, and its purpose was the adoption and improvement of public policies concerning the protection of women against violence.

Some of the main issues that were discussed during the round table referred to the activism of citizens and their directing to make influence on decision-makers through advocacy  for implementing policies prohibiting discrimination and exclusion of women.
