The presentation highlighted the updating of teaching materials, enrichment of references, and their impact on students' final assignments and the career momentum of alumni in civil society organizations (CSOs) in the field of women's issues.

The Body Politics textbook that was handed over was the output of the Udayana University LP2M Textbook Grant. The committee appreciated this book as an important foundation for strengthening the gender curriculum, which already has independent curriculum content and has been implemented in higher education institutions in Bali. This activity also initiated the formation of the Bali Gender Study Forum, consisting of universities throughout Bali, with the hope that gender-based courses can be adopted more widely to strengthen gender equality and justice in society.
