Against violence and discrimination, together
With the "Responsible University - UniRe" project , we are particularly committed to combating harassment, discrimination and gender-based violence against all sexual and gender minorities

Counters of university anti-violence centers
In cases of discrimination, harassment and gender-based violence, it is important to seek support. If you find yourself in one of these situations, you can turn to the dedicated desks that work in an integrated way and offer free listening and support to the academic community.
