Abstract：
Sexual violence with its enormous negative consequences has become an epidemic most especially among the young populations. An effective danger-proof reporting system is necessary for curbing this menace including use of the internal whistleblowing mechanism. The study employed a concurrent (parallel) mixed method descriptive design for explaining the sexual violence experiences of university students, the intention of staff and students to blow the whistle, and their preferred whistleblowing strategies. A total of 167 students and 42 members of staff (69% males and 31% females, respectively) were randomly selected from four academic departments (50%) of a university of technology in Southwest Nigeria. An adapted questionnaire containing three vignettes on sexual violence and a focus group discussion guide were used for data collection. We discovered that 16.1% of the students reported to have experienced sexual harassment, 12.3% had attempted rape, and 2.6% had experienced rape. Tribe (Likelihood-Ratio, LR = 11.16; p = .004) and sex (χ2 = 12.65; p = .001) were strongly associated with sexual violence experiences. Also, 50% staff and 47% students had high intention. Regression analysis showed that industrial and production engineering students will be 2.8 times more likely to have intention to internally blow the whistle more than other students (p = .03; 95% CI [1.1, 6.97]). Female staff had 5.73 odds of intention more than male staff (p = .05; [1.02, 32.1]). Also, we observed that senior staff will 31% less likely blow the whistle than the junior staff (Adjusted Odd Ratio, AOR = 0.04; [0.00, 0.98]; p = .05). In our qualitative findings, courage was mentioned as a factor necessary for blowing the whistle while anonymous reporting was emphasized for successful whistleblowing. However, the students preferred external whistleblowing. The study has implication for the establishment of sexual violence internal whistleblowing reporting system in higher education institutions.
摘要：
性暴力及其巨大的负面影响已成为一种流行病，尤其是在年轻人口中。有效的防危险报告系统对于遏制这种威胁是必要的，包括使用内部举报机制。该研究采用了并行（并行）混合方法的描述性设计来解释大学生的性暴力经历，教职员工和学生吹口哨的意图，和他们喜欢的告密策略。共有167名学生和42名教职员工(69%为男性，31%为女性，分别）是从尼日利亚西南部一所技术大学的四个学术部门（50％）中随机选择的。数据收集使用了一份经调整的问卷，其中包含三个关于性暴力的小插曲和一个焦点小组讨论指南。我们发现16.1%的学生报告说经历过性骚扰，12.3%曾强奸未遂,2.6%曾经历过强奸。部落（似然比，LR=11.16；p=.004）和性别（χ2=12.65；p=.001）与性暴力经历密切相关。此外，50％的员工和47％的学生有很高的意图。回归分析表明，与其他学生相比，工业和生产工程专业的学生有意图内部吹口哨的可能性要高2.8倍（p=.03；95％CI[1.1，6.97]）。女性员工的意向几率比男性员工高5.73（p=0.05；[1.02,32.1]）。此外，我们观察到，高级员工吹口哨的可能性比初级员工低31%(调整后的赔率，AOR=0.04;[0.00,0.98];p=.05)。在我们的定性发现中，有人提到勇气是吹哨的必要因素，而匿名举报则强调成功吹哨。然而,学生们更喜欢外部举报。本研究对高校建立性暴力内部举报制度具有启示意义。
