HHU guideline on dealing with sexualised discrimination and violence


Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) sees itself as a place where everyone treats each other with respect. It feels that it has a duty to prevent sexualised discrimination, harassment and violence, and define effective intervention procedures. 

To protect all employees and students who have been or are affected by sexualised incidents, HHU has not only published a guideline on dealing with sexualised discrimination and violence (see below), but also provides various points of contact for complaints and advice.

If you have experienced sexualised discrimination or violence, you can contact the following people in trust.
