HARASSMENT OF FEMALE STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY (FIELD STUDY)

Abstract

     Harassment is a sensitive issue that is closely linked to customs, traditions, practices, the personality of individuals and their freedoms. This is particularly relevant in societies where the culture is supposed to be based on modesty, respect and rejection of negative behaviour.

The aim of this study is to shed light on the phenomenon of harassment of female students at university or on campus, focusing on its causes, prevention methods and forms. It will also address the aspects of deterrence and punishment. This will be achieved by first distributing a series of electronic questionnaires to female university students (purposive sample) who have experienced harassment at least once. Subsequently, in a second stage, the questionnaires will be transcribed into statistical tables, sociologically read and analysed (process of analysing field results and sample characteristics). Finally, a general conclusion will be drawn in a third stage.
