Prevent sexual and gender-based violence : measures deployed at GEM

GEM's anti-SGB programs are a direct result of the school's fight against gender inequality. As a driving force on these issues, GEM :

• Signed a partnership agreement with the Grenoble public prosecutor's office, the Direction
  Départementale de la Sécurité Publique (DDSP), and the Association France Victimes 38. This agreement establishes a secure legal framework for handling reports of SSV suffered by students.
• Created a cell to prevent sexual and gender-based violence for GEM students. This cell has enabled the launch of the VSS reporting platform.
• Since March 2020, GEM has been offering its students "Care Line GEM for me": a psychological support hotline in 14 languages and medical teleconsultation services in 5 languages (free and confidential 24/7).
• Every year, trains and raises awareness among its students about SSV issues, particularly at the start of the school year, but also through courses on behaviour in the workplace and psychosocial risks.
• Every year, we offer exhibitions, workshops and reflections on the subject on the occasion of Women's Rights Day, as in 2021, 2020 and 2019, for example.

GEM is one of the first grandes écoles in France to have made gender equality an essential part of its students' education. Each year, GEM publishes a sexism barometer , a genuine tool for combating this kind of violence.

To introduce compulsory training for all students on these issues and their legal consequences. In order to be able to act swiftly in the workplace, GEM systematically and compulsorily trains work-study students in "legal issues".
