What to do about staff sexual harassment within your university

First and most importantly, find allies and make the issue a collective one. Acting alone, for example by whistleblowing, making an individual complaint, or approaching a perpetrator of sexual misconduct to discuss their behaviour, puts you at risk of retaliation. The more people who are working together on this issue, the more likely that you will be able to challenge powerful individuals who are sexually harassing students or covering up for others who do so. Choose allies carefully by sounding people out first (bearing in mind that those perpetrating abuse or harassment may also have support within a union). It may be necessary to start by acting informally, for example asking around about stories of sexual harassment and misconduct, and offering to be in touch with students speaking about these experiences.

Plus de la moitié des étudiants inscrits dans les universités australiennes auraient été victimes au moins une fois de harcèlement sexuel au cours de l’année dernière.

Le #sexisme_ordinaire gagne les milieux universitaires
Le harcèlement fait aux femmes se décline sous des formes parfois extrêmement violentes. Loin de se limiter à la rue ou aux terrasses, le phénomène touche également les hautes sphères

Academics, we need to talk, because I am sick and tired of this.
Sexual harassment is pervasive in academia. The solution first lies in every professor acknowledging their privilege and being brutally honest with themselves about the role they play in perpetuating it. The more power you hold, the more important it is to do. And then we need to take action. I propose that we must create a way of ‘calling in’ potential aggressors, so that they can grow as individuals and we can thrive as a community, and so that we no longer get to the stage of having to call them out.
