Female students (62.9%), transgender students (62.8%) and students who were non-binary or identified as another gender (76.8%) were more likely to have experienced sexual harassment in their lifetime than male students (26.0%). In an Australian university context, one in six (16.1%) students had been sexually harassed since starting at university and one in twelve (8.1%) had been sexually harassed in the past 12 months. Female students (10.5%), transgender students (14.7%) and non-binary students (22.4%) were more likely to have had these experiences in a university context in the past 12 months when compared with male students (3.9%). The NSSS found one in three university students (30.6%) had experienced sexual assault at least once. Female students (41.8%), transgender students (42.9%) and students who were non-binary or identified as another gender (56.1%) were more likely to have experienced sexual assault in their lifetime than male students (14.1%). In addition to gender, the prevalence of sexual harassment and sexual assault in a university context in the past 12 months varied by a range of other student demographic characteristics, including sexuality diverse students, younger students and students with disability.
