To mark the "International Day against Violence against Women and Girls" on 25 November 2025, Humboldt-Universit?t zu Berlin is organising an action week for FLINTA* (women, lesbians, intersex, trans and agender people). The theme of the action week is "Know your Rights!".
During the week, the newly published protection concept against sexualised harassment, discrimination and violence will be presented and information will also be provided on the Statutes for Protection against Sexual Harassment, Sexualised Discrimination, Violence and Stalking, which have been in force since January 2025. The action week includes a broad-based publicity campaign, practical workshops, a panel discussion in cooperation with the German Women's Lawyers' Association (djb) and information events that explain both the protection concept and the Statutes in more detail.
