Anti-harassment policies

Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of harassment within its community. The Anti-Harassment Policies establish clear standards of behavior that prohibit sexual harassment, psychological abuse, bullying, intimidation, and any conduct that creates a hostile or unsafe environment for students, staff, or visitors.

The policy applies to all academic, administrative, and social settings at KTU and ensures that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. It outlines confidential reporting mechanisms, protection against retaliation, and fair investigative procedures to support victims and uphold institutional accountability.

Through these measures, KTU reinforces its commitment to human rights, equality, and safety, directly supporting SDG 5 – Gender Equality and SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
