Abstract:

“Sexual Harassment” is an act, which violates individual autonomy based on personal choices of life, right of development and protection of personality, and human dignity that aims to protect human values. This type of act, which emerges in various forms, is defined as a kind of violence. Koç University is against sexual harassment, in all areas of teaching, research, and administration. Consequently, being aware of our societal roles and responsibilities as Koc University, we are aiming to guide our society by carrying out a project on Sexual Harassment, which is a matter with many aspects such as social and psychological. Sexual Harassment incidents, which we are following up with sadness on the media, is an important social issue not only in Turkey but also around the world. As we consider preventing Sexual Harassment incidents a mission for us, we aim to contribute to the achievement of Gender Equality in Society with this project. With the online training project for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment, and by focusing on the problems of our society, creating solutions, and sharing solution suggestions in various platforms, we have pioneered the embracing of this awareness both within our university and with other institutions.
