More than one in four female students aged 17 or younger experience attempts at unwanted sexual contact, a new analysis shows.
More than one in four female students aged 17 or younger say in a new analysis that the Institute for Human Rights is behind that they experience unwanted sexual attention at vocational schools.
In the survey, 40,000 vocational school students who were enrolled at the schools in 2022 answered questions about well-being.
And it doesn't look too good. At least not when it comes to unwanted sexual contact. The Institute for Human Rights says so in a press release .
– It is absolutely decisive that the vocational schools live up to their obligations and strengthen their guidance for the students who fail in their education because of sexual harassment.

– Pupils who have been exposed to sexual harassment are in a particularly vulnerable situation if they have nowhere to seek help, says Louise Holck, director of the Institute for Human Rights.
The investigation contrasts with what is otherwise the duty of vocational schools. In well-being surveys, since 2021 the vocational schools have had to inquire about 'unwanted sexual attention'.
But there are indications that the problem is not yet lost. Conversely, a campaign to remove something otherwise very traditional in the country's car workshops has met with fierce opposition. Also among women. Read more about it here .
