KNOW HOW self-learning tool: where does sexual harassment and sexualised violence begin?

Sexual harassment and sexualised violence do not only start with physical assaults. They begin in a grey area – for example, with suggestive comments, inappropriate looks or supposedly harmless “jokes”.

| Reading time: 1 min.

The Executive Support Unit for Diversity and Gender Equality invites you to try out the University of Göttingen’s KNOW HOW self-learning tool, which highlights these grey areas.
In just four chapters, you will learn:

  • When a joke turns into a boundary violation.
  • How to recognise harassment in everyday university life and respond to it with confidence.
  • How you can step in and/or support someone who is affected.

Click here for the KNOW HOW self-learning tool.Please note the content warning in the introductory chapter.

Please visit the webpages of the Diversity and Gender Equality Unit for information about support with discrimination, sexual harassment, sexualised violence and psychosocial matters at the University.
