This article presents the results of research conducted in 2009-2011 on sexual violence against female university students at a mid-sized English university. Included are findings on: the nature and prevalence of sexual violence (sexual harassment, stalking and sexual assault and other coercive sexual acts); the identity of perpetrators; most frequent victimisation locations; extent of, and reasons given for and against, disclosing victimisation to university authorities and police; nature of prevention and response policies, institutional arrangements and practices at the university; female student’s awareness of, and willingness to access, available services for victims; and suggestions for improvements in the university’s responses to this problem. All finding are based on data from (i) an online survey of female students, (ii) a small focus group discussion with female students, and (iii) interviews with ‘key stakeholders’ within and outside the university. Implications of the findings for university policies, institutional arrangements and practices are discussed.

This document presents a global Guidance on addressing school-related gender-based violence. This Global Guidance provides key information to governments, policy-makers, teachers, practitioners and civil society who wish to take concrete action against SRGBV. It introduces approaches, methodologies, tools and resources that have shown positive results in preventing and responding to SRGBV. We are confident that this will contribute to further promote the generation of knowledge, evidence and standards of response against this pervasive problem. With the Global Guidance in hand, this is a key moment for all of us to ensure that SRGBV does not remain a barrier to achieving the SDGs.
Sexual Harassment and Violence in the University Context is the Report from the Task Force on Policies and Procedures Pertaining to Sexual Harassment and Violence (GT-PHS, adopted by the BCI Board of Directors, October 14, 2016. This reference tool is informed by practical experience acquired at Quebec universities; institutions that, over the years, have taken different approaches to making their campuses safer and free of sexual violence. This tool is equally informed by the professional expertise of task force members, some of who have many years of experience in handling this type of misconduct. Finally, it is founded on best practices developed at North American campuses and is inspired by the examination of current research relating to sexual violence. This reference tool provides recommendations and proposes concrete and practical actions for making campuses even safer and more supportive for the people who study and work there.
