Based on findings from a nationally representative survey conducted in
May and June, 2011, this report presents the most comprehensive
research to date on sexual harassment in grades 7-12 and reveals some
sobering statistics about the prevalence of sexual harassment and the
negative impact it has on students' education.
The
report concludes with concrete recommendations and promising practices
for preventing sexual harassment directed at school administrators,
educators, parents, students and community members. We hope readers
will be inspired to take new steps toward making schools free from
sexual harassment.
AAUW has been at the forefront of sexual harassment research for over a decade, including the 1993 Hostile Hallways survey and the 2001 follow up report, Hostile Hallways: Bullying Teasing and Sexual Harassment in School.
