Organisers of petition against sexism at Danish universities say that many people did not wish to sign for fear of losing their jobs.
Biology student says she has been misunderstood in new case of 'victimhood culture' at the University of Copenhagen. We spoke to the student who was mentioned in all the Danish media, but who no one bothered to talk to.
Lisbeth Møller, Deputy Director for HR at UCPH explains what is actually meant by zero tolerance towards sexual and other types of harassment.
The University of Copenhagen is now to introduce a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment and other violations. The Danish government is also to amend the Law on Equal Treatment so that a casual workplace atmosphere can no longer be a mitigating factor.
A new simple complaints procedure is to be introduced for unwanted sexual attention from staff and fellow students at the Faculty of Science.
