Consulation in Cases of Mobbing, Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
The Women's Representative as a person of trust: She advises and informs women from all status groups in cases of sexual harassment, mobbing and discrimination.
Sexual harassment, mobbing and discrimination can happen everywhere, also at the University of Bayreuth. Educational institutes in general have a hierarchical structure and power relations, in which, among others, decisions about the future career are made; they are therefore the ideal ground for such negative behaviours. The University of Bayreuth takes its responsability serious and endeavours to ensure a study and work environment without discrimination and violence. As the Women's Representative and the Equal Opportunities Department, we support persons affected to develop approaches, find answers to questions and recommend a suitable contact person for you.
Each and every consultation and email contact will be handled strictly confidential.

The Violence against women support Hotline – Support and counselling for women
Available round the clock, 365 days a year and free of charge: the Violence against women support hotline offers victims a way of receiving competent advice securely, anonymously and regardless of disability whenever they need. Our counsellors provide women with confidential support and if needed can help them find appropriate local support options in their area. This new support service thus caters to a concrete social need and plays an important role in directing victims, relatives of victims, friends and professionals to appropriate support resources.
