In the Face of Violences against Female University Students: A Student-Based and Feminist Collective Action

Abstract

This case study seeks to describe and make visible the role of feminist student-based collective action in the adoption of measures to eliminate the diverse violences against women, especially through protocols. The qualitative analysis of the period between 2008 and 2018, using five universities in Colombia as units [Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Universidad de Antioquia, Universidad de Los Andes, Universidad Industrial de Santander, and Universidad Nacional de Colombia], gives an account on the social and political transformation processes throughout higher education institutions.
