Anti-discrimination at the HTWG

At the HTWG we offer a wide range of support against discrimination, bullying, stalking and sexual harassment. Affected people can report any concerns or issues anonymously using a contact form. To enhance personal safety, we recommend self-assertion courses offered by local providers. There are specialised counselling services for people that are affected by racist or sexual discrimination. Our points of contact offer competent and confidential support to collaboratively create a discrimination-free and safe university environment.

 

Support in Case of Harassment, Discrimination, Bullying, Sexual Harassment or Stalking

If you are being discriminated against, bullied, stalked or sexually harassed (verbally or physically) in any form by a member of university, it is important that you can share this with someone. For this purpose we have set up a contact form.

Here you can submit a request or concern, anonymously if you wish.
