Reporting Office OEHschauthin: ÖH Does Not Want to Look Away from Discrimination

The Austrian National Union of Students has established the first nationwide reporting center for harassment and assaults at universities. With the platform OEHschauthin, discrimination against students at universities is to be documented and statistically recorded anonymously, the ÖH announced in a press release on Wednesday. Numerous cases have already been reported in the first days since its launch.

"Based on the data obtained, problem areas and the need for action should be identified in order to formulate political demands and measures for the university sector. In addition, OEHschauthin offers affected individuals an overview of counseling centers they can contact," said Nina Mathies from the ÖH chair team. Cases of discrimination based on gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion or belief, ethnic affiliation or origin, and disability are recorded.
