Universities are also places where sexual harassment and discrimination occur. This issue is still a taboo in this context because the general image of Universities cast them as innovative organizations that can act as role models. Therefore, FAU’s Office of Equality and Diversity launched the #FAUrespect_Campaign against sexual harassment, discrimination, violence, and abuse of power to provide information, to raise awareness and to make it clear that FAU promotes a zero tolerance stance against harassment, violence, and discrimination in any form.
The women’s representatives of the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology as well as Harriet Ziegler (harriet.ziegler@fau.de) from the office of Equality and Diversity offer confidential advice and support to anyone who has experienced or observed discrimination or (sexual) harassment.
