Abstract

Harassment and sexual intimidation (HSI) are expressions of violence contemplated in the action-research agenda of higher education, given the need to generate mechanisms for their prevention and care. This article analyzes the response of students to the experience of HSI and identifies the reasons for not denouncing and, if it has done so, describes the quality of service of the university authority. There were two methodological phases. The first was quantitative by means of an online survey; an intentional sample of 2,070 students participated (43.2% men and 56.8% women). The second one was a phenomenological qualitative cut, through focus groups and interviews, par-ticipated four students who have lived HSI, 17 university directors and 13 members of the University Gender Program. There were 1,149 HSI events reported. The majority of those who lived HSI decided not to tell anyone, only 2% reported to a school authority. 63% did not report the event as unimportant. Of those who reported, 44% said that the authorities did nothing. The results are discussed in terms of the gender, political and socio-cultural obstacles that exist in the university, in terms of attention, punishment and prevention of the problem.
