Abstract
The aim of this study is to make an evaluation on the visibility of sexual abuse in the academic field. This research is a compilation type research. In this study, in which a compilation of academic sexual abuse studies conducted in the USA, England and Turkey will be presented, the current situation is discussed chronologically. Based on Resnik's book, the causes and consequences of sexual abuse in the academic field were also examined within the scope of this study. Abuse in education and work is a situation that has negative consequences, as is assumed. Sexual abuse, which causes inefficiency, decreased belonging and life satisfaction in the field of work, causes dropout, gender discrimination and a decrease in the quality of education when seen in the academic field. America and England are countries with different cultural dimensions. The selection of these countries as examples is to determine the prevalence of sexual abuse independent of culture. As stated in the conclusion of the study, academic sexual abuse of women is highly visible in all sample countries. It has been determined that academic sexual abuse is significantly related to gender discrimination and authoritarian organizational climate. At the end of the research, suggestions will be made for experts and people who are likely to be exposed, and it is expected to contribute to policy makers in coping with sexual abuse
