Every day this week we are sharing testimony from students all across the UK about the reality of the sexual assault and harassment they experience at university.

This figure is another result from @Revolt_Assault @thestudentroom 2018 study with 4,500 respondents from 153 UK educational Institutions. 62% have experienced
sexual harassment and 54% have experienced
sexual assault.

I am looking for writers and researchers with something to say about the experience of pleasure/sex/intimacy and/or reconnecting to the body after trauma who would like to share their work for a new project 🌈🌸! Please RT and DM me if interested

Inspiring to see all the passion and drive from so many #HE institutions to ensure great safeguarding for #students at the @officestudents conference today. Special thanks to @ShakiraSweet1 and @ProfGrahamTowl for some energising post-conference chats as well! 🙌🏽 #SafeInHE

Quote from us in today’s @Telegraph article https://t.co/uOFp14K515

[RevoltSexualAssault @Revolt_Assault]

“Sexual violence is still a huge problem at UK universities, and still they are not required to have any specific policies or support in place for survivors of sexual violence which leaves many not up to scratch, and results in traumatising experiences” https://t.co/uOFp14K515

The way Warwick University (& others) deal with sexual assault allegations is appalling

Last wk I did BBC podcast encouraging victims to report & this is reason why victims don’t

Your institutional reputation is less important than your students safety

Unfortunately we hear testimonials like this all the time. Universities must do better

[RevoltSexualAssault @Revolt_Assault]

What happened at Warwick is horrifying - universities are failing students when it comes to tackling sexual violence on campus - “The case at Warwick has raised questions about how universities deal with serious sexual misconduct” https://t.co/dIYVjKM2DC

[RevoltSexualAssault @Revolt_Assault]

"The trauma of feeling strong enough to come forward and being punished for that by the university is probably the most damaging part of this.

"I don't want to go to my graduation. I just can't wait to never have to go to Warwick ever again." https://t.co/dIYVjKM2DC

Students are calling out their rapists on Twitter because universities aren’t giving them enough support, the @nusuk have told #TheNextEpisode. We’ve been speaking to women who have done this.

@iamlindaadey thanks for highlighting such an important issue on campuses! 👏👏👏

[Linda Adey @iamlindaadey]

This was a tough story to cover. I spoke to students who were sexually assaulted and raped at uni but felt they had to go to Twitter to call out the alleged rapists because not enough was being done. Have a listen if you can.

"Some students are posting allegations of sexual abuse on social media because they say they don't feel listened to by their universities." #TheNextEpisode #ItsRevolting https://t.co/mqY0VEAwGz

[BBC Sounds @BBCSounds]

Students are calling out their alleged rapists on Twitter because they feel universities are not doing enough, says @nusuk.

@iamlindaadey has been chatting to women who have tweeted.

CALL FOR HELP—I’m currently trying to compile a list of #PhD students who are researching into sexual violence / harassment at #universities. If you know of any, please direct them my way! Pls RT if possible ♻️ #knowledgeexchange #collaboration #phdchat

[RevoltSexualAssault @Revolt_Assault]

A shocking and important read. Our universities need to do more when it comes to sexual violence on campus

Consent classes are so important. If any organisations / individuals in and around Cardiff could help organise consent classes at a sixth form please get in touch with @StefanRollnick

[RevoltSexualAssault @Revolt_Assault]

Here, students share some of the painful long-term effects their experiences of sexual violence have had on their life, their education, and changed forever their opinion of university:

Experiencing sexual violence as a student has a long and lasting impact on the survivor, an impact that is only exacerbated by sexual assault and harassment being a ‘normal’ part of university culture, and not knowing anything about how or where to seek support.
