Introduction: Sexual Violence (SV) is the most common type of Gender Violence
(GV). Different studies carried out in the United States of America show that the
prevalence of SV among college students is high. Although in Spain there is little
scientific evidence about this phenomenon, a research carried out at Universitat
de Girona obtained a similar prevalence. Prevention programs of GV at
universities have been developed in the United States of America, which are
almost nonexistent in Spanish universities. Participatory Action Research
involves people in the community, considered agents of change, favoring their
sensitivity, awareness and empowerment.
Objective: To design, implement and evaluate a social intervention to sensitise
and make college students aware of the SV phenomenon and to empower them
in affective-sexual healthy relationships so that they become agents of change.
Material and methods: Elaboration, implementation and evaluation of an
intervention with Participatory Action Research, evaluated through a quasi-
experimental pre-post study and a qualitative phenomenological research. The
investigation is carried out from February to May 2019. The studied population is
students of Universitat de Girona enrolled in the degrees in the academic year
2018-2019. The study sample is 22 college students. To evaluate the intervention
this process indicator is evaluated: degree of implementation and intervention
quality of execution. To results evaluation the following indicators are evaluated:
level of knowledge, sensitivity, awareness, empowerment and knowledge
transfer. The quantitative study consisted of administering ad hoc surveys and
performing an univariate and bivariate descriptive analysis. Qualitative research
was based on semi-structured group interviews.
Results: As it can be deduced from participants' speeches, it exists normalization
of SV acts in leisure and alcohol and other drugs consumption context. After the
intervention, participants increased their knowledge about this phenomenon as
well as increased the identification of this acts and they also report an increase
in sensitivity and awareness of SV. Participants achieved, globally, their expectations for workshops, valued positively their topics as well as the
methodologies used and they considered various improvement proposals.
Conclusions: This intervention has been effective. Students have reported
attitudinal and behavioral changes in SV acts, recognizing their empowerment in
affective-sexual relationships, censorship of attitudes and behaviors that favor
sexual violence as well as knowledge transfer to students of their environment.
Participants consider themselves as social change agents in their environment
and with regard to healthy relationships
