Abstract (English): Gender-based violence cannot be overcome without wide social support for the victims, which is dramatically limited by the violence against those who take an active stand in favor of survivors. The struggle against sexual violence requires simultaneous actions to protect both the direct victims of sexual harassment and the victims of second order sexual harassment - SOSH. Although SOSH was first defined in 1990 (Dziech & Weiner, 1990) there has been a lack a research on the issue, despite its social and scientific importance. The objective of this article is two-fold: a) to provide a concept of SOSH that facilitates the present developments for science and society by identifying specific situations of persons and those with whom they work who have suffered from SOSH; and b) to disclose the main contributions under these situations from the perspective of several social frameworks including the legal system, university, citizenship, media and politics. Using a qualitative methodology, we conclude by highlighting the need to develop the joint actions of society as a whole to identify and legislate SOSH while empowering survivors and those who support them in an attempt to eradicate gender-based violence.

Abstract (Spanish): La violencia de género no puede ser superada sin un amplio apoyo social a las víctimas, que está dramáticamente limitado por la violencia contra quienes toman una postura activa en favor de los sobrevivientes. La lucha contra la violencia de género requiere acciones para proteger tanto a las víctimas directas de acoso sexual como a las víctimas de acoso sexual de segundo orden -SOSH-. Aunque la primera definición de SOSH viene de 1990 (Dziech & Weiner, 1990), ha habido una falta de investigación sobre el tema, a pesar de su importancia social y científica. El objetivo de este artículo es doble: a) proporcionar un concepto de SOSH útil para presentar los avances de la ciencia y la sociedad, a través de la identificación de situaciones específicas de las personas y aquellos con quienes trabajan y han sufrido SOSH; B) revelar las principales aportaciones para hacer frente a estas situaciones a través de diversos aspectos en los ámbitos jurídico, universitario, ciudadano, mediático y político. Utilizando una metodología cualitativa concluimos destacando la necesidad de desarrollar acciones conjuntas de toda la sociedad para identificar y legislar el SOSH, al tiempo que empoderar a los supervivientes y a quienes los apoyan, en un intento de erradicar la violencia de género.
