N2  - The impact of sexual violence on women's university education is a major concern on university campuses. This pilot study examined educational outcomes among 27 female undergraduate students who experienced various forms of unwanted and sexually coercive behaviors. Using semistructured interviews, participants described the impact of sexually coercive behaviors on academic performance, engagement, attitudes, and mental health. The results revealed that the majority of women experienced a negative impact on various aspects of their education, including decreased engagement and a drop in grades following sexually coercive behaviors. A lack of focus and concentration was identified as the most common mental health impact contributing to academic difficulties.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
