Definition and Root Causes of Sexual Violence
🗣️ Sexual violence is defined as any act of degrading, insulting, harassing, and/or assaulting a person's body or reproductive functions due to imbalance in power or gender relations.
🚫 Acts like commenting on someone's body shape or touching without consent are forms of sexual violence, as are all forms of coercion.
🔑 The core issue is the imbalance in power relations, where individuals exploit resources, knowledge, economic advantages, social status, or gender to control victims, exemplified by the teacher abusing authority.

Prevention and Institutional Responsibility
✅ Educational stakeholders must ensure the existence of safe, comfortable, and easily accessible mechanisms for the prevention and handling of sexual violence.
🛡️ The collective goal is to foster a school environment free from sexual violence for students, teachers, and staff.
⚖️ Individuals in positions of authority within schools have a crucial obligation to contribute to establishing these protective mechanisms.
