Code of Conduct

Cod3rs stands for inclusivity and respect. Every single person has the right to engage in a safe and welcoming environment, be it at the workplace, an event, or at social gatherings.

Subjects

All members of the Cod3rs organisation, volunteers, and people associated in other ways with any of the organisation's projects, contractors, and anyone else participating in or attending any of the organisation's events are subject to this policy. The code of conduct applies at or in relation to any Cod3rs event or project, during in-person or online interactions related to a Cod3rs event or project, or at social gatherings associated with Cod3rs.

Protected characteristics

Cod3rs prohibits discrimination or harassment based on age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, colour, creed, religion, belief, social class, economic status, nationality, minority affiliation, ancestry, pregnancy or maternity, marital or familial status, citizenship, predisposing genetic characteristics, or any other characteristics protected by law.

Harassment

Harassment is any unwelcome conduct that makes a reasonable person feel uncomfortable, humiliated, intimidated, abused, or mentally distressed, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Cases of harassment include but are not limited to physical, visual or verbal comments, sharing sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, brigading, doxing, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, derogatory statements, and inappropriate physical contact.

Whether conduct is offensive, unreasonable, or unwanted depends on the recipient's perception. If what you're doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop.

Sexual harassment includes unwelcome conduct such as sexual advances, flirtations, requests for sexual favours, remarks about an individual's appearance, discussions or jokes of a sexual nature, touching an individual's body, staring in a sexual manner, sex stereotyping, asking for dates after the individual indicated disinterest, and other verbal, visual, or physical conducts that create a sexualised environment.

Consequences

Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Consequences may lead to a formal warning, suspension or expulsion from Cod3rs events or projects with no eligibility for reimbursement, and reaching out to respective authorities.

Amendments

Cod3rs reserves the right to revise, make exceptions to, or otherwise amend these policies in whole or in part.
