ABSTRACT: Background: The phenomenon of gender-based violence is a global phenomenon that
affects women negatively, including those in higher education. The scourge of
gender-based violence has been highlighted in numerous studies and statistics
have shown that instead of decreasing, the incidence thereof is rising. Aim: To critically analyse research that has been conducted to understand the
phenomenon of gender-based violence in higher education. Methodology: The
revised integrative review protocol of Whittemore and Knafl was employed
in the analysis. A comprehensive search was undertaken for gender-based violence
in higher education research conducted and published between 2010 and 2021.
Literature indexes in CINAHL, Medline, Proquest and Pubmed were searched.
Search terms were gender-based, violence, and higher education. The integrative
approach was used to conduct the methodological review. A sample of 12 research
articles and reports that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. A
systematic iterative method was employed to extract and reduce the data in
order to draw conclusions. Results: Factors leading to gender-based
violence, its effects on the victim and methods to eliminate its occurrence
were revealed by the analysis. Conclusion: Becoming aware of factors
contributing to gender-based violence and strategies to address this scourge
can minimise the occurrence of gender-based violence in higher education
institutions. Contribution: Understanding the concepts and strategies to prevent the occurrence of
gender-based violence can assist higher education institutions to minimise
these incidences.
