Although increasingly prevalent in Singapore, campus sexual assault and harassment and technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) remain underresearched. Conducted by scholars across social work, gender studies, policy studies, communication, and computer science, this interdisciplinary study explores the impact of technologies such as social media and online platforms on the digital well-being of university students in Singapore who experience TFSV and campus sexual misconduct. We conducted online surveys with 314 students and interviews with 28 students, the majority of whom were women and identified as victim-survivors. Our analysis revealed participants did not perceive technologies as entirely detrimental and possessed limited awareness of digital well-being. These findings contribute to understanding young victim-survivors' digital well-being and relationship to technology in Singapore by highlighting the experiences of college students.
尽管校园性侵犯、性骚扰以及技术助长的性暴力(TFSV)在新加坡日益普遍,但相关研究仍然不足。这项跨学科研究由社会工作、性别研究、政策研究、传播学和计算机科学等领域的学者开展,探讨了社交媒体和在线平台等技术对新加坡遭受TFSV和校园性行为不端的大学生数字福祉的影响。我们对314名学生进行了在线调查,并对28名学生进行了访谈,其中大多数是女性,她们被认定为受害者幸存者。我们的分析表明,参与者并不认为技术完全有害,并且对数字福祉的认识有限。这些发现通过突出大学生的经历,有助于了解新加坡年轻受害者幸存者的数字福祉以及他们与技术的关系。
