Harassment, sexual harassment and victimization
At Stockholm University, we work actively and preventively with all types of abusive acts.
Specific rules regarding harassment and sexual harassment can be found in the Discrimination Act (SFS 2008:567), while the regulations on victimization are found in the work environment legislation, more specifically in the Swedish Work Environment Authority's proposition on organizational and social work environment (AFS 2015:4).
