Ciberacoso y acoso sexual universitario en las universidades en Quito (marzo a julio del 2024)

Abstract

The following thesis is a comparative study on university sexual harassment and cyberbullying, from a gender perspective. Furthermore, this research highlights and evidence university sexual harassment as a silenced phenomenon in Ecuador which was civilised and civilized by student and feminist movements in a public university. A mixed approach was chosen because of its ability to understand and explore the meanings, subjective experiences and perspectives of the participants through interview and content analysis techniques allowing for a detailed understanding of the emotional experiences, challenges faced, and coping strategies used by higher education institutions in response to this phenomenon. Through qualitative methods such as focus groups and quantitative methods such as surveys, we sought to capture the richness and complexity of participants' personal narratives.
