Abstract(s)
A violência sexual no campus universitário é algo que tem vindo a aumentar com os anos, deste modo o presente estudo tem como objectivo caracterizar a incidência da violência sexual nas universidades portuguesas, visto os estudos nessa área serem escassos.
A presente investigação contou com 144 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 25 anos.
Os resultados obtidos foram elaborados com base nos casos que relataram algum tipo de actividade sexual não desejada, o que remete para uma percentagem de 27%, sendo na sua grande maioria do sexo feminino 77%. Com essa amostra percebemos que a maioria dos perpetrados são conhecidos das vítimas e que as mesmas nunca pediram ajuda aos órgãos competentes. No que diz respeito as consequências a nível académico 66,7% dos participantes referem ter tido algum impacto nesse contexto.
Com as informações obtidas neste estudo fica claro a necessidade de intervenção juntos aos jovens, para que percebam os riscos que correm e como podem lidar com essas situações.
