Principles for safer space
Page last reviewed 20.11.2025
It is important that everyone can feel welcome in Hivpoint’s activities. Everyone is responsible for creating a safer space together. That is why we have common principles that we follow in our operations.
Meet others with an open mind
Avoid making assumptions about others for example, their gender, sexuality or their language or cultural background.
Let everyone define for themselves what and how they want to tell.
Be trustworthy
All discussions taken place at Hivpoint are confidential. Also, it is confidential who you have met at our services.
Do not take or post photos unless, you have asked for permission.
Respect others and be kind
Value and respect everyone’s personal experiences and their boundaries.
Always ask for permission before touching someone.
Participate in a way that suits you
You can decide for yourself the topics you want to bring up in a discussion. You can also choose not to disclose.
Listen to your physical and emotional needs.
Take responsibility
Everyone makes mistakes. If you are pointed out for your behaviour, accept the feedback. You can say, “I’m sorry. Thank you for correcting me.”
Give space
Give everybody a change to talk.
Don’t for example, interrupt or talk over.
Come as you are
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know something. Feel free to ask help.
Intervene and ask for help
We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or mistreatment.
If you notice inappropriate behaviour, please intervene and let the employee know. Contact our anti-harassment contact persons >>
