Liechtenstein adopted its Gender Equality Act in 1999. At the University of Liechtenstein, the Commission for Gender and Diversity represents women's concerns as well as the topic of diversity , and it issues opinions on gender equality questions. The Commission works toward achieving a balanced representation of women and men in the operations, teaching, and research of the University.

Counselling
Members of the University are advised on questions concerning gender equality and diversity, and women can turn to the Counselling Office concerning problems relating to their studies, pregnancy, academic careers, scholarships, conflicts in the workplace, and sexual harassment. Persons feeling discriminated on the basis of gender may turn to the Counselling Office in its function as an ombuds office. In all cases, the Counselling Office aims to achieve a concrete solution.

The Counselling Office is open every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. (Room 127).
