Social Responsibility

Social responsibility implementation plan for the Faculty, prepared by the working group: Faculty Social Responsibility Activities Plan for 2024–2025.

The results of the qualitative research on hate crime and vulnerable communities showed that one of the reasons why victims of hate speech or hate crimes do not report them to law enforcement is the lack of knowledge that it is possible to report and/or where and how to report, as well as the lack of knowledge and/or inability to defend their rights. You can find the information on where to report here.
