Abstract
Artikeln diskuterar könsbaserat våld vid lärosäten och forskningsorganisationer (RPO) i betydelsen arbetsplatser, sysselsättning, yrkes-, organisations-, och ledningsplatser. Datan baseras på det EU-finansierade UniSAFE och inkluderar en onlineenkät om förekomst och konsekvenser av könsbaserat våld (n=42 000), en kartläggning av nationell policy om könsbaserat våld inom högre utbildning och forskningsorganisationer, samt institutionella policyer och åtgärder för att motverka könsbaserat våld i 46 forskningsorganisationer i femton länder. Resultaten visar att prevalensen är mycket hög, ojämlik mellan olika grupper, men ändå relativt enhetlig mellan länder och institutioner, vilket tyder på att prevalensen av könsbaserat våld i stort sett inte är relaterad till de forskningsorganisationer där respondenterna arbetar eller studerar, och/eller till det land där de bor. Könsbaserat våld inom lärosäten och forskningsorganisationer verkar därmed ha ett eget system och en egen logik.
The paper addresses gender-based violence (GBV) in higher education insti-tutions (HEI) and research performing organisations (RPOs) understood as work, workplace, employment, occupational, organisational, professional and managerial sites. The data are based on the EU funded UniSAFE and include an online survey of prevalence and consequences of GBV (n=42,000), a map-ping of national policy on GBV in higher education and RPOs, and institutional policies and measures to counteract GBV in 46 RPOs in fifteen countries. The findings show that the prevalence of GBV in RPOs is high, unequal across different groups, yet relatively uniform across countries and institutions, which suggest that the prevalence of GBV is largely unrelated to the RPOs in which respondents work or study, and/or to the country in which they reside. GBV in HEI and RPOs thus seems to have its own system and logic.
