Addressing Gender Based Violence at Universities: Study of the UJ Legislation
Keywords:
Gender Based Violence, harassment, discrimination, University spheresAbstract
This study aims to identify the legislative articles that deals with addressing Gender Based violence at the University of Jordan spheres. It became clear that in determining the rules of conduct at university spheres. The university legislation was based on a person –university relation (for example the professional relation of faculty members with the university and the academic relation of student with the university). Adopting such criteria in the relation (person –university) created a legal gap in the internal legislative system of the university, which might limit the role of these legislation in combating Gender Based Violence at university spheres. The study reached the following conclusions. The repetition of texts that confront gender-based violence and their similarity in content, and that the amendment of some of them requires the amendment of texts similar to them. There are no provisions in the legislation of the University of Jordan that protect the university space from acts of gender-based violence committed by people who do not have any association with the University of Jordan. The transportation network on campus is unable to meet the needs of university students, which has led some of them to move around campus with people they do not know in private vehicles, and this may increase the likelihood of these students being exposed to gender-based violence, especially sexual violence on the move.
