Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment

Our Policy and Reporting Methods

The Heinrich Böll Foundation is committed to creating and maintaining a working environment that is based on respect for human beings, regardless of their age, origin, class, cultural or gender identity, sexual orientation or political opinion – both at its headquarters and international offices as well as when cooperating with volunteers, scholarship holders, partners and other associated personnel. As part of this commitment, we do not tolerate sexual exploitation, abuse, harassment, or sexualized violence of any kind.

Our full policy on Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment is available here.

We have multiple avenues to report instances of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment. Submitting a report using this form is one way to notify our PSEAH focal points of an incident, completely anonymously. You can email pseah@hbfus.org to notify us, and you can reach out directly to either of our current PSEAH Focal Points, Liane Schalatek and Carl Roberts. You can also email safeguarding@de.boell.org to reach out to the international PSEAH team of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung.
