This policy brief explores the perspectives of university students on workplace sexual harassment. This will help improve the youth’s perspective of inclusion in designing solutions in order to prevent workplace sexual harassment. The survey was conducted through email, Facebook, and WhatsApp, with a questionnaire designed to bring out the variation and comparison of views and opinions about workplace sexual harassment depending on the respondents’ gender, age, profession, and educational background. It also contained some short, close-ended questions as well as descriptive, open-ended questions with options. The brief makes the following recommendations: (1) specific laws should be enacted; (2) women must raise their voices against sexual harassment; (3) a transparent complaints process should be in place; (4) society should change its perceptions of women; (5) reporting mechanisms for harassment should be easy and accessible to all; and (6) all staff should get frequent training on preventing sexual harassment.
