Sexual Harassment Among Jordanian College Students: Pilot Testing a Promising Primary Intervention

Sexual Harassment Among Jordanian College Students: Pilot Testing a Promising Primary Intervention

The issue of sexual harassment is increasingly being reported by students in the Middle East, including Jordan. Preventing sexual harassment in Jordanian universities is essential to empowering women because education is associated with a number of factors that reduce violence victimization and improve health throughout the life course. With the support of the World Bank and Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), the IRCKHF conducted a study in partnership with the School of Public Health, Emory University; Center for Women’s Studies, University of Jordan, and Leaders of Tomorrow with the aim of understanding the prevalence, correlates, and perceptions of sexual harassment among students and staff at the University of Jordan.
