Abstract

Sexual violence is till becomes problems nowadays. This became more of a concern when it was revealed that sexual violence tends to occur in the campus environment. This topic becomes a part of the discussion topics in the Gender and Education class. Based on this, the problem answered in this paper is how students view sexual violence? What solutions can be done to build a safe learning environment for sexual violence? This study was conducted on students who are taking Gender and Education courses at Study Program of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) in Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Data mining was carried out through discussion activities and open questionnaires during the lecture period, which were then analyzed qualitatively. Based on the data collected, it can be stated that sexual violence does not merely reflect the phenomenon of injustice, but is more of a gender-based injustice, so that women are the victims more. On campus, sexual violence also occurs because of unequal power relations between lecturers and students. Therefore, the solution that can be done is to strengthen awareness that respects each other between individuals and creates equal relations, especially between lecturers and students, as well as men and women. In particular, gender education for prospective teachers is very useful in building this awareness as a provision to build a learning environment that is free of sexual violence. Gender understanding and sensitivity by all individuals is a modality to form a safe educational environment. Therefore, continuous efforts to carry out gender deconstruction through gender education really need attention.
