Equal opportunities
The university's activities must safeguard democracy, legality, objectivity, free opinion formation, respect for everyone's equal value, efficiency, service, as well as democratic principles, human freedoms, and rights.
To be able to develop a strong and free academic community we have to show respect for one another and benefit from our differences from one another.
The Faculty of Medicine is to be gender equal with zero tolerance for discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and victimisation.
What the Faculty does
The remit of the Local Health and Safety Committee is to achieve the objectives described above by: implementing the University’s and the Faculty’s governing documents regarding gender equality and equal treatment; to spread knowledge about gender equality and equal treatment; to provide information about the work being done by the Faculty; to propose and initiate various measures; and to coordinate the following up of results.
Equality statistics
The yearly gender equality statistics for the Faculty of Medicine enable reflection, the production of suitable active measures and contribute with supporting information in discussions.

If anything happens – victimisation and harassment
Lund University and the Faculty of Medicine never accept acts and behaviour involving victimisation irrespective of whether they occur between work colleagues/students or violations between managers and workers or teachers and students. Everyone has the obligation to counter victimisation and discrimination. If this happens to you as an employee at the Faculty of Medicine, help and support are available.
