- Abstract
Sexual violence is an issue in society, especially in higher education institutions. A survey by Students Executive Board on sexual violence at Universitas Negeri Malang in 2022 with 205 respondents reported that 11 respondents had been victims of sexual violence. Several studies have proven that knowledge of sexual violence can anticipate the risk of experiencing sexual violence. This study aimed to describe the knowledge of undergraduate students at Universitas Negeri Malang about sexual violence and sexually transmitted infections. This study used descriptive quantitative research with a cross sectional approach, and 400 respondents as its sample. This study employed univariate analysis as a technique to examine the participants’ responses to the questionnaire items. The results showed that the majority of the participants have good knowledge of sexual violence, although some undergraduate students still have less knowledge than others. As for the knowledge of sexually transmitted infections, the majority are in the sufficient understanding category. This study suggested that future researchers are expected to use other variables related to this study, more accurate sampling techniques, as well as more in-depth data analysis.
