This quote was taken from the report “Harassment in Dutch academia. Exploring manifestations, facilitating factors, effects and solutions” (Naezer et al.,2019), commissioned by the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH).
“I’m in a very vulnerable position as a PhD student, because I still have to prove myself. And now that I’ve experienced how professor A and B, who are in position of power, are able to break all the rules and sabotage my project without any reasons concerning the content, or without any arguments to counter other people’s positive evaluations, I feel unsafe at work every single day.”
