Following the rise of the #MeToo movement (2017.), there has been a significant increase in public, scientific and professional interest regarding the issue of sexual harassment. While numerous foreign authors have explored various coping strategies for sexual harassment, and Knapp et al. (1997) offered a contextual framework for the available typology of responses to sexual harassment, Croatian researchers have shown minimal interest in this topic. Croatian studies are few and primarily focus on the prevalence and incidence of the phenomenon. It has been established that sexual harassment can have profound consequences on mental and physical health (Klein & Martin, 2019), and the analysis of coping strategies for sexual harassment is crucial for better understanding this negative phenomenon and creating implications for prevention and treatment. The aim of this paper is to determine the differences in coping strategies for sexual harassment depending on the gender and sexual orientation of students in higher education. The paper will use data from the research on Sexual Harassment of Students in the Context of Higher Education, which was conducted in May 2022. The sample for the research presented in this paper consisted of those students who had experienced sexual harassment in higher education (N=413). The chi-square test results showed that male students, compared to female students, more often use strategies aimed at confronting the perpetrator, while female students significantly more often than male students use strategies aimed at avoiding the perpetrator and ignoring the problem. There were no significant differences between male and female students in seeking institutional support, but significant differences were found in seeking emotional support. Students of other sexual orientations, compared to heterosexual students, are significantly more likely to seek psychological help after victimization and use most of the coping strategies that fall under problem avoidance. Heterosexual students are significantly more likely to turn to religion compared to students of other sexual orientations, while the latter exhibit more pronounced negative behavioural changes in the form of increased substance use. The contribution of this research is that this paper will be (to the author's knowledge) the first Croatian empirical analysis of students' coping strategies with sexual harassment.
