Department for Anti-Discrimination

Have you experienced or witnessed discrimination? We are here for you. The Anti-Discrimination Unit of the AStA at Hochschule Niederrhein offers a confidential and low-threshold support service for students who have experienced discrimination or feel unsure how to deal with it.

What do we offer?

✔️ One-on-one support: You can talk to us about your experiences – anonymously via email or in person. We will listen, support you, and help you plan your next steps.

✔️ Information & guidance: We inform you about your rights, show you available complaint options, and assist with formal requests or conversations with the university.

✔️ Referral & networking: If necessary, we will connect you with specialized counseling services.

What can we support you with?

  • Discrimination based on gender, origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or other personal characteristics
  • Racist, sexist, ableist, or queerphobic incidents
  • Sexualized violence or boundary violations
  • Discriminatory or problematic behavior or remarks by teaching staff or fellow students
