Universities engaging men to end violence against women
Violence against women (VAW) is a severe and systemic problem. Research from the World Health Organization indicates that one in three women around the world experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime and that the majority of this violence is committed by men. Data from the United States Department of Justice shows that women aged 18-24 are disproportionately the targets of sexual violence.
The 2019 Association of American Universities’ Campus Climate Survey, the largest study of its kind with a sample size of over 180,000 students, revealed that more than one in four undergraduate women in the US experienced non-consensual sexual contact by physical force or inability to consent while at university. The research is clear: VAW is a problem around the world and specifically in higher education.
