The United States has a well-developed tradition of conducting campus climate surveys on gender-based violence in higher education.
And rightly so – systematic data-gathering on GBV among students and staff using validated campus climate surveys should be among higher education institutions’ (HEIs) most important priorities.
Although some might say that extant national findings of substantial prevalence rates of GBV victimisation are enough to warrant focusing only on intervention and prevention efforts, continuous data-gathering is vitally important, and its value should not be underestimated.
