But despite this commitment, such incidents occur all the time. If you have been affected by or have witnessed such an incident, you can always contact the Gender Equality Office confidentially.

Online Discrimination Notification Form of the Gender Equality Office
If you are reluctant to report an incident directly, you can make use of our online discrimination notification form to get in touch anonymously.
Please note however, that an anonymous report does not constitute an official complaint and does not usually lead to remedial or protective measures, investigations or sanctions against the accused person or persons. In other words, an anonymous complaint will be recorded and used to refine our preventive measures in this area, but will not result in action being taken in an individual case.
If you want, you may provide your contact details and we can contact you by e-mail to discuss the situation and potential steps. We deal with all personal data on an entirely confidential basis. All further steps, and whether there should be any further steps at all, can be discussed then.
