ABSTRACT
The international and national demand to prevent and address gender-based violence is a priority throughout the world, conferences have been held (such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, held in Beijing) and conventions (such as the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, in Belém do Pará), to which many countries have subscribed, including Mexico. This has forced these governments to implement programs for the diagnosis, prevention, care and punishment of this type of violence, in all areas of their competence. The educational context also adds to this effort, so much so that on April 20, 2021, a new Higher Education Law was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which establishes in its article 43 that the State will support to ensure that higher education institutions are established as spaces free of all types of violence, especially gender-based education, and free of discrimination against women, to guarantee their right to higher education. It states that they must, among other measures, carry out diagnoses, programs and protocols to prevent, address, punish and eradicate all types of violence, as well as create instances with trained people to operate and follow up on these protocols. Therefore, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, considering what Mexico has signed in international treaties and national laws, specifically in the Higher Education Law, has taken measures to address the problem of gender violence that affects any person within its community. In this article we present some of these measures, with the aim of exposing in detail the Protocol for the comprehensive attention of cases of gender-based violence, updated by the National Autonomous University of Mexico on November 17, 2022.REFERENCES
