<p><em>The objectives of the community service program entitled “Stand Up Against Sexual Harassment!” are: 1. To raise awareness of high school students in Indonesia about sexual harassment; and, 2. To disseminate dialogue in the mass media on sexual harassment. The PkM activity was held in 3 stages: 1. "Tips to Avoid Sexual Violence" webinar; 2. "Creative Arts Against Sexual Harassment" competition; and, 3. “She Begs to Differ!” podcast. Because the implementation of the community service activities was held during the Covid-19 pandemic, all activities were carried out virtually. Based on the results of the survey conducted before and after the webinar, as well as the level of participation in the first and second stages, it can be concluded that this community service program was effective in raising awareness of high school students about sexual harassment, and establishing dialog about sexual harassment, especially through social media because of all of its activities done virtually and through various stages. For the sustainability of this program, SGU's Global Strategic Communications study program plans to make it an annual program. The virtual implementation resulted in a high level of participation, especially for participants from outside the JABODETABEK area. Therefore, this program will be conducted virtually in the future. In order to optimize the community service program and participate more actively in the eradication of sexual harassment, an exploration of the possibility of collaboration with the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) is being made.</em></p><p><em><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong></em>Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat berjudul “Stand Up Against Sexual Harassment!”adalah: 1. Untuk meningkatkan kesadaran siswa SMA di Indonesia terhadap pelecehan seksual; dan, 2. Untuk menyebarluaskan dialog dalam media massa mengenai pelecehan seksual. Kegiatan PkM ini diadakan dalam 3 tahap: 1. Webinar “Tips Terhindar dari Kekerasan Seksual”; 2. Kompetisi “Creative Arts Against Sexual Harassment”; dan, 3. Podcast “She Begs to Differ!” Karena pelaksanaan kegiatan PkM diadakan pada saat pandemi Covid-19, maka semua kegiatan dilakukan secara virtual. Berdasarkan hasil survei yang dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah acara webinar, serta tingkat partisipasi dalam tahap pertama dan kedua, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan PkM ini efektif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran siswa SMA tentang pelecehan seksual, dan menyebarluaskan perbincangan tentang pelecehan seksual, khususnya melalui media sosial karena seluruh kegiatannya dilakukan secara virtual dan bertahap. Untuk keberlanjutan program ini, program studi Ilmu Komunikasi (Global Strategic Communications) SGU berencana untuk menjadikannya program tahunan program studi. Pelaksanaan secara virtual menyebabkan tingginya tingkat partisipasi, terutama bagi partisipan dari luar wilayah JABODETABEK. Oleh karena itu, maka program ini akan dilakukan secara virtual di waktu mendatang. Untuk mengoptimalkan program PkM ini serta lebih aktif berpartisipasi dalam upaya pemberantasan pelecehan seksual, maka dilakukan penjajakan kemungkinan kerjasama dengan Komnas Perempuan.</p>
