SU Gender organizes an international webinar series focusing on sexual harassment, gender-based violence, diversity and inclusion inside and outside the university. We organized 9 webinars in 2020 as part of this series "Sexual Harassment, Gender-Based Violence and Discrimination: Research, Action, Narrativization", where we aimed to listen to the experiences of various universities, research centers and non-governmental organizations. In these meetings we organized in May to December, 17 people from 15 universities gave speeches and over 700 people in total participated as listeners.
