The CUG – Comitato Unico di Garanzia (Equality Committee) – is a body at the service of all the Politecnico di Torino’s members: lecturers, technical-administrative staff, research fellows, students.
Its function consists in guaranteeing and promoting equal opportunities and enhancing the well-being of each person in work and study, through measures aimed at preventing and opposing all forms of discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, religion, personal and political convictions, disability conditions, and age; all this in the exercise of propositional, consultative and verification tasks.
From Wednesday 5th June 2024 an Anti-Violence Help Desk will open at the Politecnico di Torino, managed by the victim support officers of “Centri Antiviolenza E.M.M.A. Onlus”, as part of an experimental collaboration started with the Equality Committee (CUG). On Wednesdays, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, a listening and support space is available for women who suffer or have suffered violence.
To request information or make an appointment you can contact the E.M.M.A. Onlus desk in the entrance hall of the corridor leading to the Biblioteca Centrale di Ingegneria, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24 (every first three Wednesday of the month) or the desk at the Castello del Valentino premises (every last Wednesday of the month only), send an email to sportellopolito@emmacentriantiviolenza.com or call the numbers 0115187438 –3664607803 (for emergencies only).
The service is free and guarantees full respect for privacy. Each action is undertaken only with the consent of the person directly involved, without ever adopting forms of family mediation.
It is also possible to contact the various listening centers of E.M.M.A. Onlus directly. For more information, please visit the website www.emmacentriantiviolenza.com.
