Supporting Well-Being: A Digital Intervention Model for Disclosing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education

Sexual harassment is prevalent at all levels of higher education and research and in all disciplines, which means that engineering education is no exception. Following the #MeToo movement, students have started to report cases of abuses publicly in our institution. Taking into consideration this awareness raising and the current digital transformation of education, our study investigates how digital interventions should be designed to help prevent all forms of abuse. This paper details our digital intervention model and presents the development of the intervention designed at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
