The increased risk of sexual violence in post-secondary institutions has been a long-standing issue, and the reporting process has been gaining attention in recent years. Reporting sexual violence is typically the first step in accessing available services; however, approximately 90% of individuals do not report. To gain insight into the reporting process, the current study aimed to explore the factors that influence the experience of reporting sexual violence to a post-secondary institution. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed following the ECIT procedures, which resulted in twelve categories encompassing the most salient factors impacting the participants’ experiences of reporting sexual violence. In addition, information on motivation to participate in the current study, as well as contextual descriptions of participants’ reporting processes were included and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings from this research increase the understanding of factors that both help and challenge the experience of reporting sexual violence.
