It's not that gray: Recognizing patterns of sexual harassment with the Red Flag System
Talk by Sara Hassan
November 27, 2023, 1 – 2.30pm, online (Zoom), German only
What is still flirting and what is already assault?
In her book It's not that Grey (German version), author and speaker Sara Hassan has developed a model for identifying the first signs of sexual harassment. With the Red Flag System, a multi-factorial testing scheme, observers can learn how sexual harassment is spotted and what can be done about it.
The talkwill answer the following questions:
- What techniques do harassers use to exploit victims?
- What constitutes a toxic environment?
- What concrete strategies are there to support victims and stand up against the abuse of power?

Orange the World
The UN campaign Orange the World takes place annually between the "International Day against Violence against Women" on 25 November and the "International Human Rights Day" on 10 December. During these 16 days against violence against gender-based violence, the colour orange is used to make a statement against violence and to remove taboos from the topic. This year, the University of Vienna is taking part in the campaign and sending a strong signal against sexualised and gender-based violence.
During the 16 days, you will find various contributions on the topic on the websites of the University of Vienna and the ÖH. Among other things, you can read an interview on the topic with Univ.-Prof. Andrea Lehner-Hartmann or attend the talk "There are no grey areas: Recognising patterns of sexual harassment with the Red Flag System" by Sara Hassan on 27 November online (register). In addition, several orange flags will be hoisted in front of the main building as a sign of solidarity.
