How are universities using Information and Communication Technologies to face sexual harassment and how can they improve?

摘要

Sadly, in 2020, sexual harassment and harassment on the grounds of sex are still a major social problem. In the digital era, these have acquired new aspects, but there are also new technological tools to fight against them. Usually public organizations have instruments to deal with these issues, but the presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is minimal if at all. In this paper, we will show the scarce presence of these new technological measures in universities, and with a review of the literature, offer a set of measures to improve the management of sexual harassment and harassment on the grounds of sex. As a case study, we will present the situation of ICT in sexual harassment management in Spanish public universities.
