16% students suffer unwanted sexual experience

Up to 16% of students have suffered an unwanted sexual experience at college or university, a study reveals.

One in 10 women and 5% of men also reported being the victim of obsessive behaviour that made them afraid or concerned for their safety while studying.

In the first study of its kind, students’ experiences of harassment, stalking, violence, and sexual assault were revealed by the Union of Students in Ireland.
