We are committed to fighting harassment by organizing local awareness and staff training actions, involving various services of the Inria center and external experts.
These actions aim to make everyone more attentive and better able to identify and respond to such situations of moral, sexist, sexual, or discriminatory violence.
We also aim to centralize and disseminate information and procedures to facilitate the reporting of harassment situations and improve victim support.
Harassment and Offense
Sexual Harrasment
Any behavior (speech, gestures, writings…) with sexual, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic connotations, imposed repeatedly on a person and undermining their dignity or creating an intolerable situation, constitutes the offense of sexual harassment. These behaviors can be identified by their degrading, humiliating, intimidating, hostile, or offensive nature.
The law defines sexual harassment as the act of imposing on a person, repeatedly, remarks or behaviors with sexual or sexist connotations, which:
- undermine their dignity due to their degrading or humiliating nature,
- or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive situation towards the person.
Any serious form of pressure (even if not repeated) with the real or apparent purpose of obtaining a sexual act, for the benefit of the perpetrator or a third party, is also considered sexual harassment.
More information on the website of the public service.
Moral harrasment
Moral harassment manifests through repeated acts (such as derogatory remarks, intimidation, insults…) that may lead, for the person experiencing them, to a deterioration of their working conditions that can result in:
- infringement of their rights and dignity
- deterioration of their physical or mental health
- threat to their professional development.

A victim of moral, sexist, or sexual harassment is protected by the law and will be supported by the various services at Inria.
Sexist or sexual outrage
Sexist or sexual outrage consists of imposing on a person remarks or behavior with a sexist or sexual connotation, which undermines their dignity or exposes them to an intimidating, hostile, or offensive situation.
Aggravated sexist or sexual outrage (for example, committed by a person abusing their authority, or against a vulnerable person, or due to the victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity, real or presumed) is considered a crime.
