Combating Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), harassment and discrimination
It is the responsibility of an educational institution to protect its entire community, ensure gender equality, and train managers to be responsible for their actions.
Since 2020, the Personal Balance and Inclusion department, which has already been very involved in dealing with reports of SGBV, harassment, or discrimination, is acquiring substantial resources and setting up a dedicated system: victims are taken care of and precautionary measures can be taken to protect them.
Awareness raising to prevent SGBV and harassment
A group of students and collaborators, advised by recognized and appreciated professionals work together to ensure missions of:
- Prevention (training and information)
- Protection of victims
- Punishment of aggressors
Student "ambassadors" and members of associations are trained to identify and avoid risky behaviour on campus, in companies (internships and work-study programmes), on expatriation and at parties. EM Normandie has partnered with Safe Campus, Égalité à la Page and En Avant Toute(s) to provide training and to raise awareness among its student community.
Tools and resources available to students
EM Normandie's STOP HARASSMENT platform, available online 24/7, allows students who are victims or witnesses of harassment, discrimination, sexist or sexual violence (sexist insult, sexual assault, rape, etc.) or hazing to report these abuses. EM Normandie works together to respond to these reports within 48 working hours.
A chatbot called "Lilabot" is available to students on this platform. It is proposed by the association Elle Caetera, which aims to facilitate the support of young women who have suffered sexist and/or sexual violence.
On the campuses, the "Violentometer", a prevention tool against violence against young women, is available in the display areas.
A school committed to the fight against discrimination and harassment
EM Normandie is a signatory of the 2020-2024 regional convention for equality between girls and boys in the Normandy education system and an active member and pilot of the Diversity Commission of the CGE (Conférence des Grandes Ecoles), as well as the Health and Prevention group of CHEERS.
It is also a partner of the Wi-Filles scheme of the Fondation Agir Contre l'Exclusion Normandie (FACE).
In addition, the entire EM Normandie community is committed by signing the "6 EMian commitments against discrimination and sexist and sexual violence" charter. "EM Engaged" awareness-raising workshops are also offered to students at the beginning of the academic year.
