Campus Sexual Violence

Campus sexual violence refers to any unwanted sexual activity or harassment that occurs on college or university grounds. It includes a range of behaviors such as sexual assault, harassment, stalking, and coercion. Often rooted in power imbalances, these incidents can severely impact victims’ well-being and academic success. Educational institutions are responsible for creating safe environments, providing support, and enforcing policies to prevent and address sexual violence. Awareness, clear reporting procedures, and victim-centered responses are essential in reducing incidents and promoting a culture of respect and safety on campus.
