Abstract
Harassment based on the system sex/gender is a phenomenon present in the university environment whose existence can be seen in the perceptions of the educational community itself, and which needs to be studied in order to generate realistic and practical actions for its prevention and eradication. The approximation to the current panorama of this type of harassment at the University of Santiago de Compostela is the general objective of the study. The sample is made up of 1,066 members of the university community, specifically, 727 students, 125 professionals from the administration and services group, and 214 teachers. An descriptive study is carried out, through their perceptions about the probability of suffering harassment. Sexual harassment is the most observed in the three groups and harassment based on gender identity is the least perceived. Half of the sample considers it unlikely that they will experience bullying at university and the group least likely to experience it are non-LGBT+ men. It is concluded that feminist pedagogies are the best resource to combat the different types of harassment studied in the academy, and in society in general.
