Özyeğin University has established the Discrimination and Violence Prevention Unit. This initiative is in line with our commitment to creating a research, learning, and working environment entirely free from discrimination and violence, including but not limited to gender-based discrimination and violence. The unit is tasked with implementing mechanisms for prevention, support, awareness, empowerment, investigation, and sanctions to uphold the values of equality and safety across the university. This development represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to foster an inclusive and respectful community for all members. Özyegin University's  Human Resources Policy, along with overarching principles and ethical guidelines, as outlined in ÖzU Code of Ethics, serves as a testament to our dedication to ensuring equality and supporting diversity across all aspects of our institution. Our Human Resources Policy explicitly includes provisions for the following main protected characteristics, ensuring that all members of our university community are respected, valued, and supported irrespective of their:

Age
Gender or Gender Reassignment
Disability
Race
Religion or Belief
Sexual Orientation
Marriage and Civil Partnership
Pregnancy and Maternity
This inclusive approach reflects our dedication to creating a barrier-free environment, promoting equal opportunities, and addressing the needs of our diverse community members.
