Speak Up! collaborates with WiNS & 500WS to launch WEareshocked petition and manifesto

We have launched a collectively driven manifesto and petition calling on ETH leadership to do more to tackle bullying and harrassment within its institutions.

Recently, ETH Zürich made headlines in Tagesanzeiger – not for its world-leading research unfortunately – but for its lack of action to several serious incidents reported against a professor. Not the first time this happened, but this time “it broke the camel’s back”.

ETH internal organizations, external advocacy groups as well as the media and politicians have tried for years to get ETH leadership to move towards providing a work and study environment free of mobbing, bullying, sexual harassment and discrimination, as the Swiss Gleichstellungsgesetz demands. With very little success!

✋🏽 TIME’S UP, it is OUR turn to be SHOCKED.

It is time for a widely supported public action. We prepared a manifesto addressed to the ETH Executive – we ask you to support our demands by signing this petition to amplify the message. 

And, just as important! 👉🏽 Join us for the…
#WEareShocked Assembly on
Friday, November 8th at 5 pm
at Polyterrasse, ETH Zürich
