Visible Signs against Violence against Girls and Women
Orange the World – 16 Days of Fighting Violence Against Girls and Women
Once more, we participate in the worldwide campaign “Orange the World”, thereby dedicating 16 days to fighting violence against girls and women. During these days, we light our campus in bright orange – a visible sign for treating one another in a nonviolent and respectful way.
Standing together against Sexual Harassment and Discrimination
Sexual harassment and discrimination are not tolerated at the St. Pölten UAS. Our obligation to ensure a safe environment has its legal foundation in Part 3 of our Statues.
Preventing Violence: Sharing Knowledge and Providing Support
In the summer of 2024, a workshop with an expert of the Gleichbehandlungsanwaltschaft (ombud for equal treatment) was held, providing comprehensive information on the legal framework conditions of (sexual) harassment. The following resources are offered:
- Information brochure: Abhilfe gegen sexuelle Belästigung. Leitfaden für Arbeitgeber*innen (Remedy for sexual harassement: guide for employers)
- Free download: Grauzonen gibt es nicht. Muster sexueller Belästigung mit dem Red-Flag-System erkennen (Hassan Sara, Sanchez-Lambert Juliette, 2020)
(There are no grey areas: identifying patterns of sexual harassment using the red-flag system)
Further information and support can be found at: Fighting Violence against Women.
