Sexual harassment can affect individuals of any gender or gender identity. If there is a power imbalance in a case of sexual harassment or sexist behavior, the consequences can be particularly harmful. The Regulations on Protection against Sexual Harassment at the University of Zurich (RSB) and the structures guarantee to help to create a positive climate for studying, working, teaching and researching at the University of Zurich – free from sexual harassment and sexist behavior.
