Study records experiences of more than 200 respondents who attended second level
The study invited respondents aged 18 or over to participate via social media platforms with a post which read: “Did you experience any sexually inappropriate comments or behaviour from a teacher during your time in secondary school? Anonymously share your experience in this 5-min survey.”
Another Irish woman respondent commented: “A male teacher said he heard I’d been a ‘naughty girl’ at the weekend and that he wouldn’t mind seeing ‘that side’ [sic] of me.” “My [topic] teacher was not long graduated and used to always say that if I wasn’t his student things would be very different between us. I was 14. He did this for many years, and I never knew how to deal with it. He’d make comments about my body, wink when walking past me etc,” said one Irish woman respondent.
There were also examples of respondents reporting that a teacher had made unwanted attempts to kiss them outside school.
