The release of general data about reports remains problematic, as the protection of privacy is invoked as a reason for non-disclosure. The follow-up and specific approach to reports are still not being done sufficiently. Fear to jeopardise one's career within the academic world prevents victims from speaking freely. A complete culture change within the closedness of universities, equal treatment for everyone and clear monitoring of reports and transparency are possible, but require a thorough commitment from the universities.
