Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 11

Abstract

Prevention and elimination of sexual harassment against teenagers is the Sustainable Development Goals agenda. Sexual harassment in adolescents occurs between peers. Based on studies that have been conducted, there is still little research on the prevalence of sexual harassment between peers in adolescents. This study aims to examine the prevalence of peer sexual harassment in adolescents. This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey approach. The sample was determined using convenience sampling techniques. The sample involved was 60 teenage high school students. The results of the research were that students had been victims, perpetrators, and witnesses of sexual harassment. As victims, the sexual harassment that many students experience is in the form of touching someone's private body. Meanwhile, as perpetrators, students most often commit sexual harassment in the form of touching other people's private organs without consent. Meanwhile, as witnesses, students often see sexual harassment in the form of hearing other people referred to as gays, sissies, lesbians, and the like.
