Anti-harassment contact persons

HUMAKO is committed to addressing harassment, discrimination, and other inappropriate behavior, and works actively to eliminate them from its operating environment. Through harassment contact persons, we aim to lower the threshold for reporting any harassment one may witness or experience. Harassment can come from fellow students or staff members. It may take the form of racism, bullying, threats, gender-based inequality, inappropriate treatment, discrimination, harassment, offensive remarks, defamation, ableism, violence, or any behavior that the targeted individual finds offensive or uncomfortable.

Harassment contact persons serve as support persons to whom you can report any unequal or inappropriate treatment you have experienced or observed. They are not professionals, but they are trained by the student union to support students and, if needed, assist in addressing the situation. They are bound by confidentiality. No action will be taken without the consent of the person who experienced the harassment.

You don’t have to face harassment alone. The harassment contact persons are here for you.

The current HUMAKO harassment contact persons are:

How and who can I contact?

If you have been harassed or have witnessed harassment, please feel free to contact the anti-harassment contact persons. 

You can report harassment that you have experienced or encountered to any anti-harassment contact person either by sending an email or by filling in a report form. All anti-harassment contact persons are obliged to follow up on reports made through the form, but you can choose whether to report anonymously or by name and who will respond to your contact.

In all cases, you may report the harassment incident as much as you and in the way you feel appropriate.

Once you have reported the harassment, we will proceed on your terms. Actions taken by the anti-harassment contact person happen with the consent of the reporter.
