Taking a stand against sexual harassment
Sexual Harassment Awareness Day will take place on 23 March. Universities and research institutions throughout Switzerland will for the first time campaign jointly for an environment without sexism and sexual harassment. ETH Zurich is also taking a stand to show that such transgressive behaviour will not be tolerated.
Sexism and sexual harassment are a reality in Swiss higher education. Circumstances such as temporary and therefore insecure employment conditions, relationships of dependency, hierarchical structures and a lack of diversity can foster sexism and sexual harassment.
It is for this reason that on 23 March 2023 Swiss universities, research institutions and university-related organisations will for the first time be campaigning jointly against transgressive behaviour during the nationwide “external pageSexual Harassment Awareness Day”.
