The aim of the paper is to give an overview of the legal framework in North Macedonia regarding sexual harassment, also to conclude whether and which Macedonian public and private universities mention sexual harassment in their legal documents, and to test the knowledge among students about this phenomenon (using a segment of the research “Sexual Harassment at universities in North Macedonia), because recognizing and knowing is the first step in the process of prevention
