Recent series of widely-published sexual harassment at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University (UIN) Malang arise a question on how this Islamic campus handles the situation and promotes institutional change. This research examines sexual harassment and the way the UIN deals with it. It employs participatory action research to make it possible for researchers and stakeholders to work together to find out the strategies to prevent sexual harassment. This research obtains three strategies to prevent and combat sexual harassment including comprehensive planning strategies, infrastructure development, and building key partnerships. These partnerships include revitalizing the functions of the academic counselor, conducting campaigns against sexual harassment, building a positive-content website, integrating sexual education with the learning curriculum, and keeping relationships with the surrounding sub-district heads for the students’ control. Further research is supposed to examine and reflect on the result of the respected actions to find out the most suitable prevention, intervention, and policy protocols for Islamic higher education. AbstrakSerangkaian pelecehan seksual yang dipublikasikan secara luas di Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang baru-baru ini menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang bagaimana kampus Islam ini menangani situasi dan mendorong perubahan kelembagaan. Penelitian ini mengkaji pelecehan seksual dan cara UIN menanganinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian aksi partisipatif agar peneliti dan pemangku kepentingan dapat bekerja sama untuk mengetahui strategi pencegahan pelecehan seksual. Penelitian ini memperoleh tiga strategi untuk mencegah dan memberantas pelecehan seksual antara lain strategi perencanaan yang komprehensif, pembangunan infrastruktur, dan membangun kemitraan kunci. Kemitraan tersebut mencakup revitalisasi fungsi konselor akademik, kampanye anti pelecehan seksual, pembuatan situs web yang berisi konten positif, pemaduan pendidikan seksual dengan kurikulum pembelajaran, dan menjaga hubungan dengan camat di sekitarnya untuk dikontrol siswa. Penelitian lebih lanjut diharapkan untuk memeriksa dan merefleksikan hasil dari tindakan yang dihormati untuk menemukan protokol pencegahan, intervensi, dan kebijakan yang paling sesuai untuk perguruan tinggi Islam.

“…In studies done prior on why victims of sexual harassment may not report, it was established that the reasons most frequently given were a threat of retaliation, perceived inaction on the part of complaint handlers and the shame suffered by victims of sexual harassment (Pinchevsky, Magnuson, Augustyn, Rennison, 2019).Other studies established that some women did not report sexual harassment because they considered it to be trivial. However, they were more willing to report forms of harassment that they perceived to be severe (Cortina &Wasti, 2005;Cochran,Frazier&Olson, 1997).…”

Purpose: Universities have responded to sexual harassment by putting in place formalized reporting processes through which victims can seek redress. Despite these processes, victims seldom invoke the grievance handling mechanisms that are enshrined in university sexual harassment policies. This study therefore sought to investigate why the vice is grossly under reported. Given the asymmetrical relationship between students and faculty as well as the gendered position of female students, this study specifically focused on why female undergraduate students seldom reported faculty perpetrated sexual harassment. Methodology: The study was carried out at a large public university in East Africa, was purely qualitative and involved 42 participants who included students, members of faculty and university administrators. The data was analyzed thematically Findings: These indicated that institutional and social cultural barriers coupled with power asymmetries and financial inadequacy play a role in the non-reporting of sexual harassment amongst female university students. Unique contribution to policy and practice: These findings are beneficial to universities especially as they seek to revise their existing sexual harassment policies. University managers ought to ensure that complaint handlers are well positioned to fairly handle sexual harassment complaints. This may help victims to build trust in the grievance handling mechanisms thus encouraging them to report the vice

“…A number of studies examine sexual violence among college students, but they focus primarily on student victimization on campuses by other students or faculty members (e g Pinchevsky et al, 2019, Hill & Silva, 2005, Fisher, Daigle, Cullen, & Turner, 2003, Fisher et al, 2010, Daigle, Fisher, & Stewart, 2009. A small but recent survey of 140 female students in a New York City campus, however, found that most of them had experienced sexual victimization (from simple catcalling and whistling to sexual assault and rape) during different parts of their subway commute to and from their university (Natarajan, Schmuhl, Sudula, & Mandala, 2017).…”

“…Our study, however, examines and briefly illustrates here examples of how students may be victimized by sexual violence during their transit travel to/from campus and to other destinations. Third, the great majority of studies on sexual victimization focus on physical harassment; little work has examined non-contact forms of sexual victimization (Pinchevsky, Magnuson, Augustyn, & Rennison, 2019), which however represent the multitude of incidents in transit environments. Fourth, the study's comparative framework allows the examination of sexual victimization in multiple geographic contexts, including countries from Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, North and South America, drawing from the experiences of cities both in the Global North and the Global South.…”

Evaluating patterns of sexual violence against young people across the world in the era of the #MeToo movement presents great opportunities for research and practice but also challenges. The aim of this article is to critically assess an internet-based methodology employed in a comparative study conducted with university students in 18 different cities, in six continents. While our main purpose is to examine the methodological aspects of this study, the article also presents briefly its major findings and discusses compiled recommendations to curb sexual violence in some of the most important transit systems in the world. Findings show that sexual violence in transit environments is a common occurrence globally, is highly underreported, and ranges considerably from one city to the other, and between gender groups. Lessons from this study suggest that it is crucial to use identical research tools and choose partners who can ensure that research tasks are undertaken on time, ethically, and with good care for the quality of data and the research process. To curb sexual violence on transit, actions tailored to local contexts are necessary, but as underreporting of harassment is prevalent in all contexts, one global need is initiatives that facilitate incident reporting.
