Reasons for Nondisclosure of Campus Sexual Violence by Sexual and Racial/Ethnic Minority Women
McMahon, Sarah; Seabrook, Rita C.
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v57 n4 p417-431 2020
Sexual and racial/ethnic minority women may experience a number of unique barriers to disclosing experiences of campus sexual violence. To better understand these barriers, 5,911 online campus climate surveys were collected at a mid-Atlantic university. Analysis indicated some significant differences by race, ethnicity, and sexual identity. These findings have implications for student affairs professionals creating culturally specific intervention and prevention efforts on campus, as well as addressing larger systematic racism and homophobia.
