There is no official statistics about sexual harassment in Swiss universities. It is easy to gaslight people into "this doesn't happen too much" because there are no statistics, perpetrators are in power, and victims just stay silent.

Yesterday was Sexual Harassment Awareness Day for all Swiss universities. I agree with the points that Julia Dannath (ETH Zurich) made in her blog post. Consequent follow-up (with monitoring and accountability) is needed. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Every year the 100 girls that won the Kangaroo math competition are invited to ETH to visit labs, talk to women in STEM, and lots of fun. Thank you 500WS Zürich Meike Akveld for letting me be part of this the past 2 years! It really is an amazing program. shorturl.at/crCP7

Sexual harassment is common at swiss universities, but institutions and bystanders do very little to protect the victims and discipline perpetrators. Emiliano Feresin highlights the work of 3 women pushing back against a culture of sexual harassment. 1/2 swissinfo.ch/eng/business/t…
