The Missions of the Anti-Violence Unit (CLV)
The primary mission of the Anti-Violence Unit is to prevent, raise awareness, and provide training on issues related to violence (discrimination, sexist and sexual violence, moral harassment). Its secondary mission is to listen to, support, guide, and assist members of the university community (students and staff) who are victims or witnesses of such violence. As part of this second mission, the Anti-Sexist and Sexual Violence Unit receives and records reports and, if necessary, forwards them to the University Presidency for further action (internal investigation, precautionary measures, disciplinary action).
The members of the Unit’s support system are bound by professional confidentiality and guarantee the anonymity of victims. They are committed to respecting the rules of confidentiality, professional secrecy, discretion, and impartiality.

How to report violence
Any member of the university community who is a victim or direct witness of violence may contact the Anti-Violence Unit’s support system via the email address stopviolence@univ-orleans.fr. The system, through the Equality Officer and the Head of the Health and Safety Department, acknowledges receipt of the request. An appointment is then offered to listen and gather the information necessary to assess the situation.
The support system also directs victims toward appropriate medical, social, psychological, and legal assistance. Where applicable, the Anti-Violence Unit forwards the information to the President of the University for further action (internal investigation, precautionary measures, disciplinary measures).
