Public awareness campaigns have not stemmed sexual harassment at Swiss universities. A new generation of women are taking matters into their own hands. SWI swissinfo.ch met three of them.
Sexual harassment persists in academia despite growing awareness from the #metoo movement.
A new generation of women is tackling the issue head-on, determined to make a difference. They are launching awareness-raising campaigns, creating telephone hotlines and online platforms for potential victims, and offering workshops on soft skills and becoming actors in the political discussion for more inclusive campuses.
We met three Swiss women who want to make a difference inside their learning institutions and beyond.
