Reasons and motives for the spread of the phenomenon of sexual harassment among Iraqi university students, Al-Rasheed University College as a model

Abstract

Recently, we have often heard of cases of harassment occurring here and there, and often we were ignorant of their motives and causes. What prompted the researcher to start writing this research is the spread of this phenomenon among university students, so that it became apparent after it was individual cases and its physical and psychological effects were simple, but today it is no longer a case. Harassment is simple and fleeting, but it has become a crime that is planned and executed with great professionalism so that its causes, motives, forms and images are numerous. Unfortunately, innocent individuals of both sexes are falling victim to it. The research consists of four chapters. In the first chapter, the researcher identified the problem, defined the aim of studying it, and set possible hypotheses for it. The human and spatial field of research was intentionally chosen for the possibility of conducting the research. In the second chapter, the researcher carried out the research procedures, where he chose the descriptive approach for its suitability. The research problem was organized, and a questionnaire paper consisting of twenty reasons and motives that were chosen from among a hundred reasons and motives was presented to a group of experts. In the third chapter, the results were presented and treated statistically and discussed. The fourth chapter presents a set of conclusions that were reached through the results obtained and a set of recommendations to all beneficiaries to avoid the spread of such a phenomenon.
