If we want a body that can enforce certain rules, I would go to "social committee" (as its analogue "technical committee").
If we want a contact point that gives advice ans ensures that complains or a report arrives to the corresponding body (similar to now), my name suggestion would be"Anti-harassment and Fair Treatment Contact Office".
I wouldn't drop the anti-harassment word because its negative load raises awareness and sends a clear message. I always understood harassment as not only sexual, but any (repeated) abuse in power relationships. If that's not the common understanding, we may need to add "anti-bullying".

+1
Or at least I would like that the conversation goes at a slower pace. To leave ourselves (all of us) time to think, calm down, listen and empathycise.
My 2 cents.
