Combating Sexual and Gender-based Violence

Sciences Po is committed to a culture of respect, courtesy, and equality. Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) has a profoundly detrimental impact on the lives of survivors and will not be tolerated at this institution. With priority given to listening to and supporting victims, Sciences Po has put in place a comprehensive policy ranging from prevention and reporting to punishment of the perpetrators of sexual and gender-based violence. 

Fighting Racism, Anti-semitism, and Any Form of Discrimination

Sciences Po has developed a range of resources and tools to ensure a respectful, caring, and welcoming environment in which to study and work. Our Anti-Discrimination policy works to promote equal treatment and to support anyone who feels they have been the victim of a discriminatory comment, behaviour or act, in accordance with Sciences Po’s Regulations on Student Life and the legal framework currently in force.
