Discrimination, harassment and gender-based violence: who to contact
In the case of discrimination, harassment and gender-based violence, it is important to report this type of situation and ask for support.
Those who work and study at the University of Padova can contact the protection and guarantee bodies present at the University.
In synergy with the protection and guarantee bodies, dedicated desks operate that work in an integrated way and offer free listening and support to members of the academic community:
The opening of other locations is expected because the University intends to offer equal opportunities to all its students, also reaching the external locations in Padova.
In addition, the Scup is active at the University of Padova for prevention, support, consultancy and clinical intervention activities in the Padua campus and in the Rovigo, Treviso and Vicenza branch offices.
For legal support, a network with social and health services, the Professional Order, lawyers, courts and other institutions involved, it is possible to contact the Anti-Violence Center of the Municipality of Padova.
