Acesso à informação sobre o assédio sexual na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane: um olhar sobre as estratégias do CECAGE na disseminação da informação para o combate ao assédio sexual

Abstract

Based on the concept of access to public information, this research seeks to understand the strategies of the Gender Affairs Coordination Center in disseminating information to combat sexual harassment at Eduardo Mondlane University. To this end, a literature review was carried out in order to understand the concepts of access, rights and dissemination of information, from a perspective focused on sexual harassment at the university. In order to understand CeCAGe's strategies for disseminating and facilitating access to information to combat harassment in the UEM academic community, the research used a qualitative approach with descriptive characteristics. The data collection techniques used were a questionnaire addressed to UEM undergraduate students and semi-structured interviews with CeCAGe managers. The collection and analysis of the information showed that although CeCAGe has existed since 2008, most EMU students are unaware of its existence and of the reporting techniques to be applied in cases of harassment. This demonstrates the need for the university, as CeCAGe, to step up its measures and techniques for disseminating information on measures to prevent sexual harassment. Furthermore, given that the academic community has reinvented itself through the advancement of the information society, there is a need to think about strategies that are more aligned with the current situation
