Gender equality - Sexist and Sexual violence

As a major player in society, the world of higher education and research is concerned by the issue of equality between women and men. We are aware that, like any institution of higher education and research, we are not immune to discrimination or harassment, either for staff or for students.

Thus, each of the Institute's member schools is a signatory to the Charter for Gender Equality of the Conference des Grandes Ecoles. The text of the Charter affirms that the equality of women and men is a fundamental right for all and constitutes a capital value for democracy. It commits to action in three main areas

• implementing gender equality ;
• raising students' awareness of gender equality and gender issues
• developing a policy of upstream attractiveness, particularly for students.

The fight against gender inequality is making progress everyday and the Institute intends to contribute. To this end, each school has appointed gender equality advisors responsible for the gender equality action plan and the prevention of sexist and sexual violence. These advisors have also set up bodies to ensure your well-being on campus and within the member schools.

In order to free the word and support the victims, the following have also been set up

• Awareness-raising activities for each student,
• A reporting platform available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing the listening unit to handle all reports, including sexual and gender-based violence, harassment (moral or sexual) and all forms of discrimination,
• hotline for all forms of gender-based and sexual violence
