| Summary: | This paper aims to present results of the survey on sexual harassment of
students of the Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation, University
of Belgrade. It starts with presenting and discussing different definitions
of the term ‘sexual harassment’. Afterwards, a brief overview of available
surveys on this subject is provided. Results of the surveys completed so far
show that this kind of students’ victimization in educational institutions is
frequent in all parts of the world, regardless of the economic, ethnic and
religious grounds. The aim of the survey conducted at the Faculty of Special
Education and Rehabilitation (FASPER) was to identify the prevalence and
characteristics of sexual harassment among undergraduate students, as well as
possible forms of assistance and support to students who experience sexual
harassment. A survey was conducted by the students of FASPER during April and
May 2014 on a sample of 147 students of all four years of undergraduate
studies. For data collection a victimization survey was used. The survey
results suggested that sexual harassment of students of FASPER is prevalent,
while it only manifests itself in a form of verbal harassment with a sexual
connotation. Female students are more exposed to harassment than male
students, but we need to interpret this finding with a caution due to the
fact that a sample was mostly consisted of female respondents. According to
the students’ opinion, possible solutions for preventing and eliminating
sexual harassment of students of FASPER are education of students and
employees, adoption of rules for protection of students from this kind of
victimization and establishment of support service for students who
experience victimization by sexual harassment. |
