Nearly one in five students had sexaul harassment during their first week at university. The poll aimed to find out which students had either been victims of or witnesses to sexual harassment.
The majority of these incidents happend at social events or night clubs while a third happened in halls of residence. A sexual comment about people's body it's also a form of harassment.
In recent years, in many university campuses students have had a conference about sexism, sexual harassment and assault as commonplace.
The officer Susuana Amoah of the NUS said that "it's extremely worrying but not surprising". NUS has been working on this topic over the last five years as they consider it a very important field.
Sometimes sexual harassment is not visible to students and this needs to change. Some students will be supporting this research and will try to help students to report it any time they suffer from sexual harassment.
My opinion:
Nowadays sexual harassment is a worrying problem in the majority of the universities and I think that conferences should be given to our future students to make that they will aware about this field.
