Rationale for Research

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive issue on campuses globally, impacting students’ mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being (Fisher et al., 2010; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). Research indicates that factors contributing to GBV in academic environments are multifaceted, encompassing cultural norms, power dynamics, and institutional responses (Draucker et al., 2009; Murnen et al., 2002). The necessity of this research lies in its potential to illuminate these complexities and inform preventive measures, thereby fostering safer campus environments. Furthermore, understanding the specific factors at play on individual campuses can guide tailored interventions and policies that address the unique contexts and challenges faced by students (Campbell et al., 2009). Given the alarming rates of GBV and its detrimental effects, this research aims to fill gaps in the existing literature and provide empirical evidence that can drive institutional change, improve student safety, and ultimately contribute to a culture of respect and equality in academic settings (Walters & Espelage, 2018).
