Finncon has a harassment contact person, who can be contacted throughout the weekend by phone: +358 46 897 4776.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finncon is an event that is open for all, has no age limit, and no entry fee. This means the people attending the convention come vary in ages and come from very different backgrounds. However, all attendees are fans of science fiction,\n fantasy, or horror, or different medias related to these genres. Everyone has the right to be themselves at the convention and not be bullied or harassed. Please be respectful of other attendees!<\/p>\n

Finncon defines harassment as any type of discrimination, mocking, judging other people\u2019s appearance, dress or opinions, invading or other people\u2019s personal space and right not to be touched, and other types of inappropriate behaviour.\n Everyone can experience harassment, regardless of their gender, age, opinions, appearance or any other factor.<\/p>\n

If you face harassment, ask the person to stop. Other people can also step in by asking if everything is alright, if they witness or suspect harassment.<\/p>\n

Finncon has a trained harassment contact person, a Listener (a term used by for example Worldcons), on call throughout the whole event. The harassment contact person can be reached by phone. We strongly urge anyone facing or witnessing\n harassment to report the situation to our harassment contact person or security staff, even if the situation resolves without the convention staff. This is so we can develop Finncons to become even safer spaces for all attendees.<\/p>\n

Thank you to\n Tracon<\/a> and\n Ropecon<\/a> for giving inspiration for this Anti-Harassment Policy.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
