Abstract

Sexual violence in the universities context acquires specific characteristics which turn even more difficult to perceive and confront aggressions. Since university attendance is more than a perspective for academic education, representing basic human rights access, sexual violence typify an obstacle to full exercise of citizenship rather than just an individual violation. Seeing that university students have been gathering to promote denunciation, support victims and demand for interventions, institutional actions - as the designated commission of parliamentarians that investigated human rights violations in São Paulo and the network Rede Quem Cala Consente, at Universidade de São Paulo (USP) – are now ongoing. This review aimed to gather studies whose purpose was to map the sexual violence scenario at Brazilian universities, so we could detect in which ways academy has been contributing to sexual violence confrontation, and compare them to international studies on the same topic as well as to studies on gender violence.
