More about the "Together Against Sexism" alliance

Sexism is widespread in our society. It demeans people based on their gender and is something we encounter daily in many areas of life. The "Together Against Sexism" alliance—funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) and implemented by EAF Berlin in partnership with the ministry—is determined to take a stand against it. The goal is to recognize sexism and sexual harassment, address them openly, and establish effective measures to combat them.

New study reveals the extent and impact of sexism in the workplace

63 percent of employees in Germany have experienced sexism at work.
