Abstract

The objectives of the community service program entitled “Stand Up Against Sexual Harassment!” are: 1. To raise awareness of high school students in Indonesia about sexual harassment; and, 2. To disseminate dialogue in the mass media on sexual harassment. The PkM activity was held in 3 stages: 1. "Tipsto Avoid Sexual Violence" webinar; 2. "Creative Arts Against Sexual Harassment" competition; and, 3. “She Begs to Differ!” podcast. Because the implementation of the community service activities was held during the COVID-19 pandemic, all activities were carried out virtually. Based on the results of the survey conducted before and after the webinar, as well as the level of participation in the first and second stages, it can be concluded that this community service program was effective in raising awareness of high school students about sexual harassment, and establishing dialog about sexual harassment, especially through social media because of all of its activities done virtually and through various stages. For the sustainability of this program, SGU's Global Strategic Communications study program plans to make it an annual program. The virtual implementation resulted in a high level of participation, especially for participants from outside the JABODETABEK area. Therefore, this program will be conducted virtually in the future. In order to optimize the community service program and participate more actively in the eradication of sexual harassment, an exploration of the possibility of collaboration with the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) is being made.
