There's no room for harassment in student culture
There has been conversation on social media about experiences of harassment and inappropriate behaviour in student culture. The conversation has focused mostly on teekkari culture (the culture of students in engineering), but students from many different fields have come out with their own experiences.
TYY and Teekkarikomissio state that there is no room for harassment, bullying or inappropriate activities in student culture or teekkari culture, and these issues should not be ignored. Teekkarikomissio is the umbrella organisation of all teekkari-organisations in Turku, you can read their statement on the topic here: https://teekkarikomissio.fi/fi/kannanotto
