Background:

The university wants to address and act on sexualized violence in the university context. This is because sexualized discrimination and violence continue to be a social problem from which universities as places of study and work are not exempt. Sexualized discrimination and violence can constitute criminal offenses, are attacks on the dignity and personal rights of those affected, and will not be tolerated at the University of Kassel. With the campaign, the university management would like to work towards making it possible to talk about sexualized discrimination and violence, to sensitize everyone to the topic, to carry out prevention and educational work and to offer help in the event of assaults. The University of Kassel attaches great importance to respectful and appreciative cooperation, it carries out preventive work and offers information on contact points, advice and help at www.uni-kassel.de/go/schutz_sexualisierte_diskriminierung.
