Harassment of female students in Iraq is a serious issue faced by educational communities, as it occurs in many parts of the world. Harassment of students is considered a crime and should be dealt with rigorously and seriously. It can range from verbal harassment to physical harassment and can cause psychological and physical harm to victims.
To combat this phenomenon, the government and educational institutions need to take effective steps to raise awareness about harassment and strengthen preventive and punitive measures against offenders. This requires training teachers and staff on how to handle complaints and reports related to harassment, as well as promoting a culture of respect and equality among students.
Additionally, legal authorities should take deterrent actions against harassers and provide psychological and legal support for victims. Schools must be safe and supportive environments for all students, and communities should work towards this goal through continuous awareness and training.
Recently, a university student in Iraq revealed her story about a teacher who harassed her and tried to extort passing grades from her. The student mentioned that one of her classmates received an excellent grade in this professor's subject despite not attending his classes at all.
