Countering male violence against women

Sexual and gender-based harassment prevention protocol

Steps to follow should you be aware of any situation of sexual or gender-based harassment:

• Get in touch with the equality liaison of your centre or directly with the Equality Unit.
• Report the facts to the Commission against Sexual Harassment (CAS).
• The complaint can be presented by the person being harassed or by a third party who is aware of the situation. In the latter case, in order to initiate the procedure, the victim will have to ratify it.
• File a complaint within three months after the harassment took place.
• Who can file a complaint? Students, teaching and research staff (PDI), administrative and service staff (PAS), and other outsourced staff and people with administrative or private contracts.

Lilac Points

The lilac points are spaces at university festivals and other events where the public is made aware, information is given to those who need it, and people who report a male aggression are accompanied. 

This resource is an initiative of the Telecommunication School's Student Delegation. 

They also have an important symbolic function because they show the rejection of male violence and offer a space for support.
