Despicable. Noone should feel unsafe or be sexually assaulted in anyway in the UK.

You cant expect this place to be a serious discussion for it right? People here will come here saying "buh buh women are so sensitive! The standards for what constitutes sexual harassment are too low!"

I am guessing most of these students who have been "abused" are females, no offense but I get this feeling that it's simply not true and the female students may be over exaggerating, sure there are males who can be flirty and all that but sexual violence? A uni student knows better than that.
Just my point of view and keep in mind I am not supporting sexual violence in any way.

Would you report it to the council if you were assaulted in the street, or to Tesco if you were assaulted in the supermarket? Or to the band if you were assaulted at a music gig? No, of course not.

Why would any victim report it to the university? It should be reported to the police.

Not surprised institutional paedophilia and rape is a real problem in England and America more so in England.
Also there has been a rise in chavs racists and bigotry since brexit and the recent falls in health care education so on its really not surprising that this is happening but it is saddening truly disgusting but that’s the world right now.
In college I’ve seen individuals of 16-18 watching videos of sexual brutality and laughing at how disgusting or sick it is and I’ve heard individuals talk about rape and paedophilia as a joke that’s in college
In high school this is even more common for a joke or conversation alongside talk of killing babies and such honestly unless you’re born privileged I’m pretty sure you will be subjected to this kind of sick individuals
I myself am feeling more and more sick the more I talk about this and so will stop but seriously this is a problem nowadays people don’t see it as the serious matter it is and accepting such behaviour as the norm
Free speech needs to be protected but people of such mindsets need to be investigated or psychologically assessed in case of threat

Also I’m a man so I know full well what men are like and I can recount many times when men have acted sexually inn appropriate one of the worst cases being we had a repeated sex offender in my high school so anyone dismissing this as some feminist bull try not thinking with your ego and actually consider this seriously
Though there are a lot of inappropriate individuals who are not a threat as much as just weird men any man here will remember at least one inappropriate man who does stupid dirty **** I’m sad to say that is just a man trait that some men think only with their ***** not all of us but some

The survey should've implemented an option to enable the participants to give more details on what happened, and show the exact results about what specific type it was for accuracy and transparency.
I am surprised that the most common form of 'sexual violence' among the respondents of the survey are physical however; I expected verbal to be the most common..

The figures will probably be higher considering the individuals who didn’t tell the truth and hid it a lot of individuals don’t tell anyone fearing the individual who did it or fearing ridicule and being embarrassed it’s a sad sad scenario that’s all too common

I agree, uni students are adults now so they should be able to take these matters to the police, we are not in high school anymore where we are like "Oh miss he touched me", long gone are the days were they are kids.

That's not what the actual report says (the OP didn't surmise it particularly well), the report says that 6% of students reported it to the university, as well as 6% of students reporting it to the police, so I would hazard a guess that it's the same 6%. The 2% refers " those experiencing sexual violence felt both able to report it to their university and were then satisfied with the reporting process"

So basically this is the most clickbaity stat you could've ever produced. Not that groping isn't a form of harassment but calling it violence conjures far more shocking images in one's head than some bloke copping a feel.

There's probably some really ****ed stuff in amongst the stat, but the report doesn't bother to provide a full breakdown so it's a bit difficult to decide whether to go into crisis mode or not.

Exactly right, I touched on that issue in my post about interpretation. They should've introduced more categories of sexual harassment/assault so people viewing the study can formulate a more accurate judgment on the data.
