“…El análisis de contenido temático de este estudio ha puesto de relieve que el estudiantado tiene escasos conocimientos sobre el acoso sexual y, por ende, afirma no haber recibido mucha información sobre el tema. Estas carencias formativas podrían colocar a los/as estudiantes en situaciones de vulnerabilidad haciéndolas/os más propensas/os a ser víctimas de acoso sexual (Aina & Kulshrestha, 2018), dado que no son capaces de detectar muchos comportamientos de este tipo.…”

“…La universidad debe posicionarse junto a las víctimas, sancionando a los acosadores sexuales con políticas claras en contra del acoso sexual, con la finalidad de que estas se sientan apoyadas y seguras en el contexto universitario. El papel de la universidad es clave para combatir el acoso sexual (Aina & Kulshrestha, 2018) porque es la responsable de educar por y para la igualdad de género. Es urgente y necesario un verdadero compromiso y la implicación de las instituciones universitarias en la lucha contra el acoso sexual a través de estrategias de prevención e intervención efectivas que permitan a las alumnas, docentes e investigadoras desarrollar su actividad profesional en un espacio seguro.…”

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en analizar los conocimientos, las percepciones y las actitudes de los y las estudiantes hacia el acoso sexual. Para esto, se han realizado diez entrevistas individuales a estudiantes (seis alumnas y cuatro alumnos) y ocho grupos de discusión heterogéneos formados por 67 estudiantes. Todos pertenecientes a una universidad de carácter público situada en el noroeste de España. Los resultados evidencian que el alumnado tiene pocos conocimientos sobre el acoso sexual y, además, no recibe formación que le otorgue las herramientas que le permitan identificarlo y combatirlo. Asimismo, la mayoría de los/as participantes expresa que el acoso sexual es habitual en el entorno académico, pero que está invisibilizado. A través de sus propias palabras se identifica que perciben actitudes permisivas hacia el acoso sexual por parte de los/as docentes y de la universidad, considerando que no hay una verdadera implicación para intervenir en las situaciones de acoso. Por consiguiente, es necesario que la universidad se comprometa a implementar estrategias de prevención e intervención, con el propósito de identificar, sancionar y erradicar todas y cada una de las formas de violencia, incluido el acoso sexual.

Sexual harassment is one of the major challenges in academia in India and abroad. It has been manifested in various forms such as physical, verbal and non-verbal harassment. At times the issue of sexual harassment goes unreported and where it is reported, to what extent it is addressed and how effectively it is handled by the authorities responsible to prevent the same is an issue of concern. The paper explores through case studies, the nature and magnitude of sexual harassment in institutions imparting higher education. It attempts to understand the nature of sexual harassment of women in such institutions and to find the legal and procedural mechanism to prevent and control sexual harassment of students and employees in academia. The paper argues that the law on prevention of sexual harassment of women in the workplace has various gaps which need to be addressed for doing justice to the complainant and accused of sexual harassment. The paper attempts to provide suggestions for dealing with the deficiencies of the Act of 2013 and the rules made under it. The research methodology applied in this research is primarily doctrinal and is based on secondary sources such as research papers, case studies, case comments, reports, commentaries, media reporting, books, human rights instruments and judicial decisions. The researchers have made a case study of 30 cases, and 15 representative cases have been incorporated into the present study.
