Government commissioner Mariëtte Hamer to visit UM

Have your say on sexual safety - DRAFT

Would you like to join a discussion on how to improve sexual safety in higher education?

On Friday 15 September from 16:45-18:30, government commissioner Mariëtte Hamer will visit Maastricht University to have a conversation on the issue with UM representatives and students. We would love to hear about your experiences, ideas and initiatives. You are most welcome!

Sexual violence is a serious issue and more and more people are aware of it. How do we behave respectfully towards one another in our work environment, in our classes and in our social activities?

Leading the discussion on this issue is the mission of Mariëtte Hamer, the Government Commissioner for Sexual Transgressive Behaviour and Sexual Violence since April 2022.

For its part, UM gave its ambitions a boost by starting a Sexual Safety Programme in March 2023, with more ambitions. The programme’s objective is to prevent sexual transgressive behaviour and help those affected.

Students, staff and programme representatives will participate in the discussion with the government commissioner. Your presence and input is highly appreciated.

Please note that the number of places is limited. You can fill in the registration form as long as there is space.
