Feminist Office

About us

As your feminist department of the ÖH Uni Vienna, we see our main focus in supporting students who are affected by sexism and all those who want to do something against patriarchal oppression from within the feminist movement. That's why we organise open meetings to network with each other, lectures for joint further education and parties to celebrate the small and big successes of our movement. You can find the announcements for these events either in the ÖH newsletter, the ÖH Instagram account or on posters around campus.

We are convinced that feminism must be intersectional - therefore both anti-racist (regard the department for anti-racist work and foreign students) and anti-capitalist, as these and all other forms of oppression go hand in hand with the current economic system (regard the departement for working class students). We also see ourselves as FLINTA*-inclusive, that means we work with the aim of creating an exchange space for female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans & agender + * people (regard the queer department).

Support in cases of sexist experiences or gender-based violence at university

You can report incidents to us anonymously. We are currently working on a new reporting system, which will be available soon. If you would like to report something to us before then, you can write to us (from a possibly non-personalized email address) or hand in a letter to the ÖH secretariat.

Or, if you would prefer to discuss your experience in person, you can contact us at our email address and make an appointment.

It is important to emphasise that we are not professional therapists etc., but we are always ready to listen to you. We stand with you, do not question your perception and will refer you to experts, therapists or lawyers.

Menstrual product dispenser

Because tampons and pads are not luxury goods but a basic need, we believe that the university should provide them. You can download the list with the locations of the dispensers here.

Frauen*Forscherin

The "Frauen*Forscherin" (~Women*Scientist) is a print publication created by our collective, which publishes queer_feminist, women*-specific content. It also presents queer_feminist places, spaces, initiatives, groups, collectives and projects in Vienna. Each issue has a thematic focus. Printed copies of Frauen*Forscherin are available at various (university and non-university) locations in Vienna, including the ÖH on campus. If you can't get hold of one because it's out of print, you can also download it here as a PDF.
