Sarajevo Open Centre, since April 2015 via the School of Feminist, has continued the women’s studies programme Žarana Papić, that in 1998 was initiated and led by the Association Žene ženama, as the first studies on women in BiH. Until now, four generations have completed the school, and we are preparing the programme for the fifth School of Feminism.
