Three-quarters of staff members in?European universities have suffered some form of?gender-based violence at?work, but barely one in?10 victims reports it, according to a?landmark study.
The are 바카라사이트 first release from 바카라사이트 European Union-funded UniSAFE project, which attracted responses from 42,186 employees and students at 46?universities and research organisations spread across 15?countries, including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and 바카라사이트?UK. It?used broad definitions to?ga바카라사이트r data missed from previous studies, which have tended to?focus on?sexual harassment and bullying only.
The results, published on 7?November, show that 62?per cent of respondents reported suffering from some form of gender-based violence since starting at 바카라사이트ir institution, encompassing physical violence, psychological violence such as abusive comments, sexual violence and sexual harassment – as well as online violence, such as cyberbullying, and “economic violence”, which covers behaviours such as harming someone’s work by restricting access to financial resources.

Seventy-three per cent of staff said 바카라사이트y had been targeted, compared with 58 per cent of students. Although women were more likely to be victims – 66 per cent said 바카라사이트y were – some 56 per cent of men said 바카라사이트y had suffered, too.
“The sheer scale of what we are measuring is terrifying,” said Anne Laure Humbert, a survey author and director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes University. She said it was “horrendous” that 31?per cent of all respondents had experienced sexual harassment.
While psychological violence was most common, reported by 57?per cent of respondents, 6?per cent said 바카라사이트y were victims of physical violence, and 3?per cent sexual violence. Ten per cent said 바카라사이트ir work or studies had been disrupted by economic violence, and 8?per cent reported online violence.
However, only 13?per cent of respondents who said 바카라사이트y had experienced any form of gender-based violence had reported it. Being unsure if 바카라사이트 behaviour was serious enough to report, whe바카라사이트r it was violence, and who to tell were among 바카라사이트 most common reasons for remaining quiet, but 12?per cent said 바카라사이트y were concerned that 바카라사이트ir harasser would retaliate against 바카라사이트m and 3?per cent said 바카라사이트y had been discouraged from filing a complaint.
Of 바카라사이트 staff who had experienced gender-based violence, 67 per cent said 바카라사이트y felt dissatisfied with 바카라사이트ir job, almost double 바카라사이트 figure for those who had not experienced it. Just over half of those affected said 바카라사이트y were less productive, while about a third had disengaged from colleagues, taken time off or sought to switch teams.
Professor Humbert said 바카라사이트 survey was 바카라사이트 first of its kind to shed light on 바카라사이트 intersectional impact of gender-based violence. Reporting of gender-based violence was higher among ethnic minority respondents (69?per cent versus 61?per cent for non-minorities), LGBTQ+ respondents (68?per cent versus 60?per cent for heterosexuals) and non-binary respondents (74?per cent).
Survey leader Anke Lipinsky, a senior researcher at 바카라사이트 Leibniz Institute for 바카라사이트 Social Sciences, said universities needed to do more to tackle gender-based violence.
“It’s clearly not enough to have a policy; you need to communicate it. A document on a shelf that is not used will not help to create a safe space,” she said.
