Abstract: Gender violence and sexual harassment have persisted in higher education institutions. Objective: this systematic review set out to synthesize 2025 and 2026 evidence on gender violence, sexual violence, sexual harassment, and cyberbullying in higher education. Methodology: searches in Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, followed by deduplication, screening, and full-text reading, produced a corpus of 54 studies from 240 records, appraised with design-adapted tools for quality and risk of bias. Results: seven themes were identified: prevalence of sexual and gender violence, cyberbullying, intersectio-nality, institutional response, prevention, systematic reviews, and mental health. The included evidence reported a pooled prevalence of sexual harassment of 43.7% in women, 16.8% in men, and 33.4% in transgender and gender-diverse people. Sexually and gender-diverse students, students with disabilities, and international students showed greater vulnerability. The intention to report was 77.5%, compared with 27% of formalized reports. No study had a low overall risk of bias, and self-report showed high risk in 90.7%. Conclusions: the findings supported inclusive policies, teacher training, trauma-sensitive services, responsible digital governance, and monitoring in higher education institutions.
