One in seven students say they have been raped or subjected to an attempted rapeOne in seven students at further education colleges in the UK say they have been raped or subjected to an attempted rape, research has found. Three-quarters of respondents to a survey for the NUS Women’s Campaign said they had had an unwanted sexual experience at least once, while three in 10 said they had been pressured to establish an unwanted sexual or romantic relationship. More than one in three said they had experienced unwanted sexual contact such as pinching or groping. The NUS said although there has been progress on the issue of sexual abuse in the education sector, it has been limited largely to universities. This culture has been normalised to such an extent that unhealthy sexual behaviour has become harder to identify.
