Sexual Assault and Harassment at UM
In June 2021, Amnesty International Netherlands published a report on rape amongst students ‘Studenten over verkrachting’.
In the light of the outcomes of this report and also in the light of insights gained into experiences of our own student community, UM is organizing a working conference.
