Inhalt: Der vorliegende Begleiter (»Vademekum«) soll Hochschulen dabei unterstützen, etwaige Diskriminierungen gegenüber nicht-binären Personen zu identifizieren und in der Folge zu beseitigen. Nicht-binäre Personen können oder wollen unter Umständen nicht in die Kategorie »Mann« oder »Frau« passen. Sie identifizieren sich als transgender Personen, als intergeschlechtliche Personen oder als
(inter) Frauen bzw. (inter) Männer. Seit die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention allen Menschen das Recht auf freien Ausdruck der Geschlechtsidentität zugesteht (EMRK Artikel 8), verpflichten sich alle europäischen Staaten, dieses national umzusetzen.
Inhalt: In October 2017, there happened the uprising of an unprecedented online movement on social media by women across the world who started publicly sharing their untold stories of being sexually harassed along with the hashtag #MeToo (or some variants of it). Those stories did not only strike the silence that had long hid the perpetrators, but also allowed women to discharge some of their bottled-up grievances, and revealed many important information surrounding sexual harassment. In this paper, we present our analysis of about one million such tweets collected between October 15 and October 31, 2017 that reveals some interesting patterns and attributes of the people, place, emotions, actions, and reactions related to the tweeted stories. Based on our analysis, we also advance the discussion on the potential role of online social media in breaking the silence of women by factoring in the strengths and limitations of these platforms.

Inhalt: Female physicians and healthcare professionals experience many sex-related adversities. According to a
recent report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM), the prevalence
of sexual harassment in academic medicine is almost double that in other engineering or science fields.1 An estimated 30–70% of female physicians report that they have experienced sexual harassment in the medical workplace.2 As explained in the NASEM report, sexual harassment can range from a single comment to direct sexual overtures. Other hurtful comments, many
of which are unintentional, also are common and are
referred to as “micro-aggressions” or “microinequities.”
Such behavior is exhibited primarily, although
not solely, by men and is predominantly directed at
women.1

Inhalt: Violence against women has become a grave concern not only in India but around the globe. From domestic abuse to being attacked out in the open, there’s been a recurring enormity against women, which has jeopardized their basic right to safety. Having a safety net might seem a sense of relief. In the 21st century there’s an application available for pretty much anything. Personal safety apps have attracted a lot of engrossment, but they have not been effective in preventing rape. As standalone initiatives, many involved in preventing violence also state that they have not proven useful. In this paper our objective was to better understand and find out the underlying causes of why we aren’t able to combat sexual violence issue. We tried to apply a novel approach to predict sentiment for different Twitter datasets trying to forebode what type of tweets receive particularly high attention and engagement and the sentiments associated along with it. In doing so, we could comprehend the sentiments and emotions tagged along. This will better potential reach future social media movements by understanding what content is likely to reach the most people. We examined over 10,000 tweets with the #metoo tag. In a nutshell we will be assessing the causes/ factors /reasons why the victims attain help even after such helps available for them. The study will anticipate at why the audience is not aware of such helps made available for them. After all, to root out crime is clear sighted not possible, though knowing more about the underlying factors on why it occurs and about why there is increases in reports in India is significant in order to dwindle it.

Inhalt: Sexual harassment in academia is often a hidden problem because victims are usually reluctant to report their experiences. Recently, a web survey was developed to provide an opportunity to share thousands of sexual harassment experiences in academia. Using an efficient approach, this study collected and investigated more than 2,000 sexual harassment experiences to better understand these unwanted advances in higher education. This paper utilized text mining to disclose hidden topics and explore their weight across three variables: harasser gender, institution type, and victim's field of study.

Inhalt: In diverse academic spaces around the world, sexual and gendered harassment is increasingly recognized as a problem. High‐profile cases continue to emerge that underscore how gendered harassment is normalized in elite research contexts. In this article, Liz Jackson and Ana Luisa Muñoz‐García analyze three recent policy cases for decreasing sexual and gendered harassment. These cases involve three levels of analysis and three cultural contexts. The first is that of the higher education community in Chile; the second is the University of Hong Kong; and the third is the Philosophy of Education Society, an international academic society based in North America. In each case we analyze how sexual and gendered harassment has been (1) conceptualized, (2) responded to, and (3) contextualized. Through their analysis of these cases, Jackson and Muñoz‐García invite readers to reflect on practical and philosophical recommendations for moving forward antiharassment policies and programs, seen broadly.
