A new report by British media about sexual assault by university staff against students highlights that UK institutions, including the church, schools and the news media have failed to address the sexual abuse of young vulnerable people, says an analyst in London.
“We’re a having a problem which is very similar to the problem we faced with the Catholic Church, but many young people did not report this abuse until much later in life,” Javier Farje told Press TV on Tuesday.
“This kind of sexual abuse against students tends to have long-term implications because we have seen in the case of the Catholic Church, how many of these young students who were abused when they were at school, still suffer the traumas of these kinds of attacks 40 years later,” Farje said.
“Most universities in the UK are involved in this situation and they don’t seem to have policies which deal with this situation. That means that the most vulnerable members of the universities, that is the students, still suffer the consequences of this situation,” he added.
