17 09 2025
We warmly encourage you to explore the presentation “ASBiR Recommendations for Improving the Situation of Gender-Diverse People in Polish Higher Education Institutions”, prepared by the Academic Network for Safety and Equality (ASBiR) and was presented on 9 June 2025 at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education during a conference attended by representatives of the ministry, academia, and civil society.
The presentation sheds light on the everyday challenges faced by transgender and non-binary students and staff at Polish universities and outlines possible measures to support them.
It offers concrete recommendations, including:
-
involving gender-diverse people in decision-making processes,
-
creating a welcoming atmosphere and increasing visibility within academia,
-
introducing clear regulations in university documents and IT systems,
-
preventing discrimination and promoting inclusive language,
-
providing training and establishing dedicated support structures.
This material is an important step toward building universities that are open, inclusive, and safe for all members of the academic community, regardless of gender identity. You can view the presentation here (available in Polish).
