| Description | Although 62% of students had experienced sexual violence at UK universities, according to research in 2018, only 1 in 10 actually reported their experience to the police or university. Of those, just 6% chose to inform their uni and out of those respondents, a meagre 2% were satisfied with the reporting process in place at their university. |
