dealing with discrimination
The mission statement of the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences strives for respectful, fair, difference-sensitive and appreciative interaction with each other, which enables the equal participation of all university members. All members of the university are obliged to counteract discrimination.
This claim is constantly challenged by phenomena in society as a whole, and thus discrimination, sexualized violence, mobbing or stalking also occur at the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin. Discrimination or belittlement can occur due to different dimensions of discrimination, which can also be intertwined:
Ethnic origin, anti-Semitic and/or racist attributions.
appearance
gender identity and gender attributions
sexual orientation
disability and/or chronic illness(es)
social origin or status
age
language
marital status or pregnancy
religious or ideological orientation or political beliefs
If you have experienced discrimination, sexualized discrimination and violence, bullying or stalking at ASH Berlin, a selection of qualified and low-threshold anti-discrimination counselors can support you. They offer a confidential and, if desired, anonymous initial consultation and listen to you. The initial counselors take you and your experiences seriously and can discuss further steps with you, including complaints or referral to external counseling centers. The counseling follows the following counseling standards:
the counseling is always free of charge and confidential
the perspectives of the person concerned are in the foreground of the counseling and are not questioned
the counseling can be taken up anonymously, together with a companion and under naming of a pseudonym
the counseling can accompany you in further desired steps
You are not sure whether you have experienced discrimination? Often, such experiences are associated with shame, overwhelm and hurt, and people find it difficult to talk about it. The anti-discrimination counselors can support you in classifying what you have experienced and, if you wish, in identifying further contact persons.
If you would like to report incidents or file a complaint, you can do so using the digital reporting form .
You are welcome to contact the following anti-discrimination counselors at the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin, even if you are not sure whether what you experienced was really 'discrimination' and even if the incident happened some time ago. If you prefer to talk to external counseling centers, we have compiled some contact options below.
Sometimes it can be useful to write down in advance what happened. The following questions may be helpful as an outline of the content:
When and where did the discrimination take place?
What exactly happened?
How did it happen?
Why did you feel discriminated against?
Who was involved in the incident? / Can anyone witness the incident?
These questions can also be clarified together during counseling.
In acute violent situations, the police can be reached at any time via the toll-free emergency number, Tel. 110.

There are a number of counseling centers in Berlin that offer both legal counseling and psychosocial support. They each have different focuses and target groups. Many offer counseling in several languages. (Note - not all are completely barrier-free!). Here are just a few that can be good first points of contact:
- Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency
- Ombudsman's Office of the Berlin State Anti-Discrimination Law
- Anti-discrimination network Berlin of the TBB
- Anti-discrimination counseling age or disability
- Contact points for sexualized violence
- Advice center database of the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency (nationwide)
- StudierendenWERK Berlin (counseling on barrier-free studying, psychological counseling, etc.).a.)
- Berlin Crisis Services (for psychosocial crises up to and including acutemental and psychiatric emergencies)
In addition to the initial advisors, there are other offices at ASH that can be contacted in their work against discrimination and violence:
You have the right to complain if you experience discrimination or sexualized discrimination and violence, bullying or stalking at Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin. The complaint procedure and the staffing of the Complaints Office is defined in the Anti-Discrimination Statutes of ASH Berlin. The Complaints Office also functions as a complaints office according to §13 of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). It is possible to submit anonymous complaints. The complaints office will inform you about the further procedure in this case.
The Complaints Office consists of four persons: Prof. Dr. Nivedita Prasad, Kathrin Blaha and Helin Yakut as a student member. Additional and fourth member is a legal experienced person.
If you want to submit a complaint, you can do so via the digital reporting form . Complaints can be submitted in German or English.
You can reach the Complaints Office at beschwerdestelle-antidiskriminierung@ ash-berlin.eu.
The Complaints Office receives complaints related to discrimination or sexual discrimination and violence, bullying or stalking and takes over the investigation of the facts. It then informs the university management of the result of its investigation and recommends appropriate measures and sanctions to it.
Protection against discrimination is enshrined in German law, e.g.:
In February 2020, ASH Berlin issued bylaws for protection against discrimination, sexualized discrimination and violence, bullying and stalking at ASH Berlin, which were revised after the trial period and republished on May 25, 2021.
It provides the university with a comprehensive structure for the prevention of discrimination as well as counseling and complaint management in cases of discrimination. However, these structures still need to be established gradually. The relevant information will be continuously updated on this website. Until then, we ask for your patience and for the use of the support services indicated above.
The aim of the anti-discrimination statutes is to prevent discrimination, particularly on the grounds of ethnic origin, racial ascriptions, appearance, gender identity and gender ascriptions, sexual orientation, disability, chronic illness, social origin or status, age, language, family status, pregnancy, and/or religious and/or ideological orientation or political opinion within university life (provided the religious and/or ideological orientation or political opinion is not based on discrimination against others) (ASH Berlin Anti-Discrimination Statute § 1 para. 2).
The statute applies and expands current legal prohibitions of discrimination and protection at ASH Berlin. It provides ASH Berlin with a comprehensive structure for the prevention of discrimination as well as counseling and complaint management in cases of discrimination.
Every person has many identities and is thus positioned at the intersection of different possible forms of discrimination. For example, sexist slogans can also have racist connotations. Therefore, we must try to take into account the interplay of multidimensional forms of discrimination (intersectional approach).
