Background: Sexualized harassment, discrimination and violence (SHDV) in the workplace, during training and studies can affect people regardless of their gender. The Equality team at the University Medicine Greifswald (UMG) conducted a survey to determine the current status of such experiences within the company and to derive targeted preventive measures.
Method: Over a period of four months, employees from various professional groups and students were asked online about their experiences and knowledge of sexualized harassment, discrimination and violence, as well as their need for support options.
