Students of the Faculty of Philosophy won the debate on the position of women in Bosnia and Herzegovina

On Tuesday, December 4, 2018, in the premises of the Faculty of Law of the University of Zenica, a debate was held on the topic: "Women in Bosnia and Herzegovina participate equally in political, economic and cultural life and contribute equally to the development of society as a whole as men". The debate was organized under the auspices of the OSCE Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and on the occasion of the International Human Rights Day, with the aim of encouraging discussions about gender equality and discrimination at the academic level, including students and professors.

The affirmative team was made up of students from the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zenica, consisting of: Tamara Jakšić, a 4th-year student of the Department of Cultural Studies, then Elmin Fehrić, a 2nd-year student of the Department of Cultural Studies and Emin Alić, a 3rd-year student of the Department of Class Teaching, while Negacijska the team consisted of Ilma Hercegovac Law Faculty students, Vinko Stjepić and Amina Pipo. After a dynamic and interesting confrontation with numerous arguments, the Commission composed of Prof. Ph.D. Spahija Kozlić, Faculty of Law, Prof. Ph.D. Esad Delibašić, Faculty of Philosophy and M.sc. Miloš Bogičević, OSCE, had a difficult task to decide which team was slightly better. It was decided that the Affirmation team of the Faculty of Philosophy was ultimately better, although, in the Commission's opinion, it had a somewhat more difficult task in finding quality arguments compared to the Negation team.

Regardless of the final outcome, the debate showed that the University of Zenica can boast of capable young people who are not afraid to publicly express their opinion and support it with clear, precise and quality arguments.

Congratulations to the Debate Team of the Faculty of Philosophy on their victory!
