    Street sexual harassment (CSA) is a social problem that affects all women. CSA can be described as any behavior, gesture or expression of a sexual nature that occurs in public spaces without the consent of the victim. In this context, the current study aims to describe the frequency of CSA present in female students of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Cuenca in the period 2023-2024, according to sociodemographic variables, from a perspective that includes the different dimensions in which it is manifested and the predominant behaviors of CSA, in addition to describing CSA based on the use of public space by female students. This study has a quantitative methodology, descriptive scope and cross-sectional design. We worked with a sample of 138 female students. For data collection, we used the Questionnaire of Sexual Harassment on Public Roads by Gonzalez et al. (2019), with three dimensions: Verbal and Gestural Harassment; Indirect Harassment; and Physical/Invasive Harassment; accompanied by a sociodemographic card. Regarding the results, it was found that the total population studied experienced CSA, with a high level of frequency. Verbal/Gestural Harassment, and behaviors such as whistling, sounds and morbid looks, were the most common form of ASC experienced by the students. Finally, it was concluded that students who walk longer distances experience a higher incidence of CSA and it is evident that the prevalence of harassment is related to geographic and mobility factors.
