Gender Equality and Diversity at our faculty

Gender Equality, Family, Diversity and Anti-Discrimination

Gender equality is a system of organizational structures, measures and instruments. Its purpose is to bring about genuine equality of the sexes on a structural, cultural and personal level. Gender equality aims to provide all genders with equal access to all areas of life in society, to eliminate structural disadvantages that exist for women* and to counteract sexual discrimination and violence.

The term diversity includes a variety of attributes, such as age, parenthood and care responsibilities, gender and gender attributions, ethnic background, physical and mental health, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sexual identity, social background and social status. For us, actively empowering diversity is a great opportunity to honor the diversity of our students and employees as well as to tackle discrimination and promote equal opportunities.

The latest Equal Opportunities Council of the Faculty of Economics and Business was elected on June 28, 2018. It currently consists of eight women* who belong to the following status groups at the university: professors, (doctoral) researchers and administrative-technical staff. The main task of the Faculty Equal Opportunities Council is to promote women* in our department.

The Equal Opportunities Council has chosen to focus on increasing the visibility of women* in our department and strengthening the development of early support measures for women*. It represents the (central) Equal Opportunities Officer in departmental matters, assigns members to appointment committees and is involved in tendering procedures and recruitment processes. In addition, its members are active in several bodies (Faculty Council, Meeting of the Equal Opportunities Officers / of the Equal Opportunities Councils of the Goethe University).
