Abstract

The issue of street harassment has recently become relevant due to its high incidence and social impact. For this reason, the present quantitative study evaluated a representative sample of 364 students from the University of Pamplona, Villa del Rosario-Cúcuta extension, by means of an online and physical survey, in order to know their perception about the phenomenon, the practices they have experienced and the consequences it generated. It was found that all the participants have been victims of some form of street harassment, both men and women, although women prevail as victims and men as perpetrators; Moreover, it was found that these practices negatively affect the quality of life of individuals by causing unpleasant emotions and limiting the use and participation of public spaces; It also highlights the disapproval of the phenomenon, its impunity, and that a percentage of the population does not consider certain practices as harassment. Likewise, other relevant results for the subject are discussed.
