Students should be able to go to school without having to worry about sexual harassment or violence. Unfortunately, sexual harassment and violence still prevail in schools nowadays:

 

·1 in 9 female high school students experienced dating violence in the past year.

​

·In a survey of 27 universities, more than 23% of female undergraduate students reported sexual assault or misconduct, and 11.7% of all students reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact.

​

·1 in 10 female graduate students at major research universities reports being sexually harassed by a faculty member. Often working alone, supervised by only one professor, graduate students are uniquely vulnerable to sexual assault.

​

Sadly, these experiences leave girls with lifelong trauma that cannot be undone. However, educational systems often fail to address sexual misconduct that is occurring on their watch.

学生应该能够安心去上学，而不必担心性骚扰或暴力。不幸的是，性骚扰和暴力在现在的学校仍然普遍存在。

-每9个女高中生中就有1个在过去一年中经历过约会暴力。

-在对27所大学的调查中，超过23%的女性本科生报告了性攻击或不当行为，所有学生中的11.7%报告了经历过未经同意的性接触。

- 1 / 10 在主要研究型大学的女研究生报告被教员性骚扰。研究生往往独自工作，只有一位教授指导，特别容易受到性侵犯。

可悲的是，这些经历给女孩们留下了无法弥补的终生创伤。然而，教育系统往往无法解决在他们的监督下发生的不当性骚扰。
