The IAFA is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. Harassment includes but is not limited to offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, or religion. It also includes deliberate intimidation, stalking, unwelcome following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

We do not tolerate harassment in any form. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the executive board or conference staff immediately. IAFA members violating these rules may be sanctioned at the discretion of the IAFA Executive Board, which reserves the right to take any appropriate action, including formal legal proceedings in accordance with United States Federal laws.
