Protection against discrimination and against sexualized violence

The Guideline for Protection against Discrimination and Sexualized Violence at TU Dortmund University specifies a counseling and complaint procedure for those persons who are affected by discrimination and/or sexualized violence at TU Dortmund University. It also pursues the goal of raising awareness and attention at TU Dortmund University for discrimination and sexualized violence.

To support the implementation of the aforementioned guideline, the TU Dortmund University has established a central counseling center for persons who feel affected by discrimination or sexualized violence. The employees of the counseling center can be contacted by all members and relatives of the TU Dortmund University.

The General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) is a federal law that aims to prevent or eliminate discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual identity.

Section 13 of the AGG gives employees of the university the right to complain to the department if they feel they have been discriminated against in connection with their employment by the employer, superiors, other employees or third parties on any of the above grounds.
