Orange Days campaigns

Gender-based violence exists in every country and appears in many forms: from degrading remarks and everyday sexism to abuse of power and severe acts of physical violence. To raise awareness and highlight support structures, the Equal Opportunities Office is offering several events over the coming weeks.

Webinars & Training Sessions: Understanding and Addressing Violence at Universities

Throughout the Orange Days, Anne Heinrich rom the Equal Opportunities Office will offer webinars on awareness raising and violence prevention.

The sessions will cover:

• the different forms of violence,
• why universities can be environments where violence is more likely to occur,
• how to support those affected, and
• the responsibilities of supervisors and leaders.

Both 2-hour in-depth sessions and 30-minute short sessions are available.
No registration is required.

Bread bag campaign: “Violence doesn't fit in our bag”

In cooperation with the Student Services, our university will again participate in the NRW-wide bread bag campaign. At the cafeterias on the Rheinbach and Sankt Augustin campuses, bread bags with information and awareness messages will be distributed.

The university warmly invites all members to take part in the events, reflect together and contribute to raising awareness, promoting safety and strengthening equality.
