At the end of the Forum, the author of the textbook "The Politics of the Body," who is also the Coordinator of the Political Science Study Program, who previously received a Textbook Grant from LP2M Udayana University, symbolically handed over the textbook to representatives from Ngurah Rai University and Bali Sruti, the event organizers. The book was appreciated by the committee as an important initial foundation for the development of gender-related courses, which already have independent curriculum content and have been implemented in higher education in Bali.

It is hoped that gender-based courses can be implemented in all universities in Bali in the future, given the increasing concerns about gender equality and justice in our society. This activity also initiated the formation of a gender studies forum with members from all universities in Bali.
