Sexual harassment (SH) is a prevalent issue within higher education, impacting individuals, groups, and institutions globally. Despite its significance, SH often goes unreported and under-researched, particularly in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. In Tanzania, limited data exists on this subject. A recent study at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College aimed to assess the prevalence and types of gender-based SH among students and staff. Findings revealed a concerning 37% prevalence among staff and 32% among students, with a significant number reporting experiences of SH within the institution. Awareness of support services and reporting mechanisms was found to be low, highlighting the need for improved resources and education on addressing SH effectively.
