The University of Bordeaux champions tolerance and respect. It takes a firm stand against all types of sexual or homophobic violence and harassment. It encourages freedom of speech on these issues and strives to ensure that victims are heard and given support in their actions and claims.
There is a watchdog office that combats and monitors sexual, gender-based and homophobic harassment and violence at the University of Bordeaux.
It is a place where victims or witnesses can be listened to, guided and supported. It responds in a practical and confidential manner to situations brought to its attention and acts to prevent and dissuade any and all abusive behaviours.

You can also get help from the CROUS and Student Health Centre social workers.

Sexual violence covers situations in which a person imposes one or more acts, one or more comments (oral or written) of a sexual nature on another person. These acts are unwanted by the victim and are an expression of the perpetrator's desire to gain power over the victim.
This violence violates the fundamental rights of the person, in particular his/her physical and psychological integrity. It is prohibited by law and punishable by law.
Sexual violence takes many forms: sexual assault, rape, voyeurism, sexual harassment, etc. The consequences are substantial, numerous and long-lasting: anxiety, sleep and/or eating disorders, intense fears, guilt, depression, isolation, risky or aggressive behaviour, etc. The acts can have an impact on your health but also on your social, family or professional life.
The symptoms/signs are specific to each victim and vary over time. They justify seeking help and not becoming isolated.
