will give a talk on “Sexual Harassment in academia - What can we do?”:

Sexual harassment in contemporary academia is a big issue and is increasingly being addressed at universities. Almost one in three students and employees at 46 European universities or research institutions say they have experienced gender-based violence in the work context (UniSAFE Study 2022). In this session both provide information about the context, prevalence and attitudes around sexual harassment and gender-based violence. They give input to the legal basis of sexual harassment and the responsibility of universities. They give answers how to appropriately respond to a disclosure of sexual harassment. They address the responsibility for people in supervising/management position and show possibilities for intervention. They inform where people can get support within and outside the university.
