This powerful book explores women university students’ experiences of sexual violation and critically examines institutional responses to the issue. Drawing on original research, it applies a feminist lens to the legal, neoliberal, punitive and ‘fun-focused’ discourses which shape experiences and understanding of sexual violation at university.
The book calls for a radical rethinking of current policies and practices, outlining how higher education institutions must transform their approaches to meaningfully address sexual violation, justice and student safety.
