Research Problem Outline: Factors Contributing to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) on Campus

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) on college campuses is a pervasive issue that undermines the safety, well-being, and academic success of students. The proposed research problem is to investigate the multifaceted factors that contribute to GBV in university settings, with particular attention to socio-cultural dynamics, campus policies, and the role of peer influence. Key problems to address include the normalization of violence within certain social contexts, inadequate reporting mechanisms, and the lack of effective preventative measures and education programs. The intent is to explore how these factors interact and create an environment conducive to GBV, thereby examining the experiences of both victims and perpetrators. This research aims to analyze existing literature on campus GBV (Fisher et al., 2010; Title IX, 2020) as well as conduct qualitative interviews with students to gauge perceptions and experiences related to GBV, ultimately suggesting evidence-based interventions tailored to improve campus climate and support systems. By focusing on this issue, the research seeks to contribute to the broader discourse on gender equity and safety in educational institutions (Harrison et al., 2012; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000).
