Protection Against Discrimination and Bullying

What is discrimination?

HHN University of Heilbronn takes a clear stance against discrimination on grounds of gender, ethnic or social origin, appearance, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief. Violence, bullying and stalking are also prohibited. Discrimination might sometimes be hard to identify as such and is not always clear-cut. Please do not hesitate to contact us even in such situations as these. We can help you further.

Where do I find support?

If you feel that you have been the victim of discrimination or bullying, contact one of the contact points in confidence. 

All contact persons will deal with your concerns in strict confidence and search for solutions with you.

The AGG Complaints Office (AGG-Beschwerdestelle) of Heilbronn University is responsible for dealing with formal complaints under Section 13 of the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz - AGG).

Want to know more?

The legal foundation is the General Act on Equal Treatment - the Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG).

Before making a formal complaint, you will receive detailed advice on the procedure either from the complaints office (AGG-Beschwerdestelle) or from one of the contact points. You can also read about the procedure in the HHN statutes on protection against discrimination.

You can find the current campaign of the federal anti-discrimination agency (Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes ) with information on the AGG under the button.
