Mutual respect
The University of Vienna stands behind employees and students who contribute to a culture of mutual respect, who don’t look the other way when they witness transgressive, disrespectful behaviour and instead intervene and take preventive action. The University of Vienna firmly opposes sexual harassment and discrimination and will not tolerate any form of abuse of power. Individuals affected by sexual harassment can get help from the University of Vienna’s support services.
Be attentive.
Take it seriously.
Contact support.
