Resumo

Faculdades e universidades abrigam mulheres jovens que se situam no maior risco estatístico de sofrer violência baseada em gênero. Assim faz sentido que a administração do campus, provedores de serviços e a polícia universitária unam-se para pensar formas de abordar a violência contra as mulheres no campus. As partes interessadas devem se perguntar: Que preocupações com a segurança as mulheres enfrentam? Que ajuda está disponível para apoiar as mulheres no campus? Que medidas nossas instituições pós-ensino médio estão tomando para prevenir e reduzir a violência contra a mulher no campus? Este trabalho enfoca uma experiência canadense sobre o engajamento de jovens na prevenção da violência contra as mulheres em campus pós-ensino médio. O Projeto Segurança no CampUS foi iniciado pelo Interim Place, uma organização comunitária que oferece abrigo e apoio a mulheres vítimas de abuso, e pela Universidade de Toronto em Mississauga. Os objetivos da CampUS eram de conduzir uma auditoria sobre a segurança no campus; uma pesquisa sobre as experiências das jovens no campus; desenvolver um sistema, um plano de segurança comunitária no campus; implementar uma campanha de educação, conscientização e prevenção da violência; e compartilhar as melhores práticas com outros campus. Neste ensaio compartilho reflexões sobre o que foi aprendido através do Projeto CampUS e destaques que incluem recomendações aplicáveis à prevenção e redução da violência contra jovens mulheres em campus pós-ensino médio em outros locais.
