Anti-harassment and Anti-discrimination Guidelines

Tavara-asema is a discrimination-free space. We do not tolerate any kind of harassment based on such things as ethnic background, religion, skin color, or sexual orientation. Should you witness any distressing, disturbing, or inappropriate behavior at a Tavara-asema event, please report this immediately to a member of the security team or staff.

Tavara-asema also has a designated harassment contact person who you can contact if necessary. All messages to the harassment contact person will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and, if required, anonymously. Most of our staff have received training as equality and harassment contact persons. You can confidently approach any of our employees during events.

Safe Space Guidelines

  • We value our guests equally. If you discriminate or disrespect others, you may be removed from the premises.
  • Don’t make assumptions or call names. You cannot assume other people’s gender, sexual orientation, capabilities, wealth, or background just by looking.

  • Any violent behavior will lead to removal from premises and legal ramifications.
