On July 8, 2025, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency presented the results of the research project "Implementing company complaints offices in accordance with Section 13 AGG. Practical examples and practical approaches". Among the 18 nationwide examples of AGG complaints offices that have been implemented in an exemplary manner in important areas is the Anti-Discrimination Complaints Office at ASH Berlin. The aim of the study carried out by IMAP GmbH was to examine the status quo regarding the implementation of AGG complaints offices and to highlight practical approaches by presenting examples of good practice.
In particular, the possibilities at ASH Berlin to submit complaints anonymously as well as the implementation of immediate measures were highlighted as exemplary by the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency. Alongside advice and discrimination-sensitive organizational development, the Anti-Discrimination Complaints Office is an important building block for the protection against discrimination at the university. Furthermore, the Complaints Office is an important point of reference for universities nationwide that are still in the process of developing their counseling and complaints structures. You can find the Complaints Office's good practice profile on the website of the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency.
If you experience or have experienced discrimination at ASH Berlin, you can report this via the digital reporting form report it, seek advice or contact the complaints office or contact the complaints office.
