Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - The Central Women's Representative

What is the Toolbox?

The toolbox of the project "Chancengleichheit Intersektional" offers basic and more in-depth information on the topics of (anti-)discrimination, diversity and equal opportunities, equality and intersectionality.

The toolbox is intended to serve as a contact point for people in need of basic information, theories and concepts and who want to deal with the above-mentioned topics further, as well as a collection point for advice and support offers in the event of incidents of discrimination or sexualised violence.

It is divided into two categories: the weblink collection, which offers a large number of links to basic and further information, theories and concepts as well as freely accessible further training opportunities, and the second important component, a collection of contacts to counselling and support offers on a wide range of discrimination and incidents of abuse of any kind.
