Thus, we developed and validated the Cyber Sexual Harassment Scale-Professor Student (CSHS-PS) to assess virtual sexual harassment by professors towards their students. A sample of 1,249 participants aged 18-40 was used for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The CSHS-PS demonstrated a two-factor structure, capturing \"Unwanted Interaction\" and \"Sharing with Others.\" Reliability and validity were confirmed, showing promise for assessing online sexual harassment in academia.

Self-efficacy, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and psychological well-being decreased during this period. Focus groups revealed themes of mutual respect, better gender relations, women's and girls' use of voice, joyfulness in the workshops, better family communication, a focus on children's future well-being, and recognition of women's rights.
