Pro-equality and anti-discriminatory measures

19 02 2024

The Equality Plenipotentiaries are the first point of contact for staff, students and doctoral students in situations requiring support/advice/clarification on anti-discrimination, mobbing, violence etc. They also disseminate information about equality measures carried out by the University.

The function of Equality Plenipotentiaries in the Doctoral School of Humanities is carried out by:

1. dr hab. Małgorzata Sandowicz, prof. ucz. (Faculty of Oriental Studies), email: msandowicz@uw.edu.pl;
2. dr. hab. Jan Romański, prof. ucz. (Faculty of Chemistry), e-mail: j.romanski@uw.edu.pl.

If you witness or are a victim of discrimination, bullying or harassment, or if you need advice or support, we also encourage you to contact the SDNH Directors (dr hab. Monika Rekowska, prof. ucz., dr hab. Agata Bareja Starzyńska, prof. ucz.).

The University of Warsaw runs a number of equality measures and offers a support system:

• rownowazni.uw.edu.pl is the UW’s equality website for information, advice and publications;
• ombudsman.uw.edu.pl is a place you can go in case of conflict (between members of staff, between a student and a member of staff, etc.), discrimination or sexual harassment;
• the Psychological and Counselling Services Centre is a UW initiative for people who are experiencing various types of mental health problems, lowered mood, etc. The centre works in partnership with the Office for Persons with Disabilities.
