Students in Denmark are being asked about their experiences of sexual harassment in a bid to understand the scope of the problem in academia and find ways to tackle it.
Universities Denmark and the national students’ union sent a survey to all students at the country’s eight universities on 3 May. It asks about their experiences of harassment, the university’s response and the context in which the harassment happened.
