Sapienza University makes available to all students several tools for guaranteeing and protecting against discrimination and harassment.
The figure of the Confidence Counselor, according to the Code of Conduct in the fight against sexual harassment at Sapienza, is responsible for providing advice and assistance to victims and helping to resolve cases referred to her/him, in order to prevent and deal with possible situations of gender-related harassment that may occur in study and work relationships. More information can be found on the Sapienza webpage at this link.
Safe Zones are places for listening and sharing aimed at promoting inclusion and support towards the student component. If you see a “Safe Zone sticker” on the door of an office, it means that there is a trained person in that place to whom you can turn in case of need
The Department also has, as of 2022, a GEP Commission that aims to enhance the full participation of all people in the life of the Department, fostering a culture of respectance, fighting gender discrimination, in line with the directives of Sapienza's Gender Equity Plan.
The Ph.D. students in Physics founded a working group with the aim of supporting the Department of Physics in dealing with the issue of gender balance. The objectives of this working group are to collect data on gender balance, highlight critical issues within the department, and propose new outreach activities. The activities are posted on the website
