Sexual harassment in Bangladeshi public universities represents a deep-rooted societal crisis that undermines gender equity and compromises student safety. This study examines the causes and consequences of gender-based violence in academic settings, where female students face pervasive verbal and technology-facilitated harassment, compounded by cultural stigma and political impunity that discourage reporting. Through case studies of Dhaka and Jahangirnagar Universities, it highlights systemic failures, patriarchal norms, and institutional complicity that perpetuate cycles of abuse. The chapter situates these challenges within a global context of widespread violence against women, exploring psychological distress, academic disengagement, and eroded institutional trust. Based on systematic analysis of scholarly and institutional writings, and qualitative content analysis of human rights reports, journalism, and official inquiries, the chapter suggests administrative and juridical remedies such as independent grievance committees, mandatory gender-sensitivity training, and survivor-based counseling. Community-driven initiatives and national policy reforms are recommended to foster cultural change and ensure accountability. As a reference chapter, it relies on credible secondary sources to inform systemic interventions, advocating for collaboration among universities, policymakers, and civil society to create safe, inclusive academic environments in Bangladesh.
