Many students encounter sexual violence. A study commissioned by Amnesty International has shown that 11 percent of female students and 1 percent of male students are raped during their student days. The group which experiences non-consensual sex during their student days has grown considerably: 31 percent of women and 11 percent of the men. Since that study, Amnesty has been campaigning for higher education institutions to do more to tackle sexual violence.<\/p>\n\n\t
