Sexuální obtěžování ve vysokoškolském prostředí: Zkušenosti zavádění politik v zahraničí

The problem of sexual harassment at universities has been “explored” by western and primarily American sociology in the middle of the 1970s. Since then, anti-harassment policies and procedures (including the follow-up victim care) have been established at most of the Anglo-Saxon universities designing how to deal with “harassers” as well as “victims”. In the Czech Republic, an empirical research concerning the issue as well as university anti-harassment policies are still missing. The aim of this article is to introduce ways and procedures Anglo-American universities use in solving sexual harassment. The experiences of these academic institutions represent an indispensable source of information and inspiration for Czech higher education environment.
