To be able to offer affected university members of all status groups and genders an appropriate (initial) counseling service, the University of Augsburg has implemented a software-supported concept. This serves as low-threshold counseling, enables digital anonymous contact, and thus represents a supplement to the complaint procedure according to the AGG. For this purpose, trained advisors of different genders and status groups of the University of Augsburg are available for digital and personal counseling. In addition, you will find further information on how to deal with sexual harassment, what you can do if you become a witness or how you can reflect on your behavior.
If you have any questions or comments about the platform, please contact the Office for Equal Opportunities.
