His stories reflect that academic life is focused on the practices of gender violence what is eaten in the jerarquía exist in the institution, in the enormous competitiveness and in the llamada violincia aisladorathe one who suffers the victims and the women (pocos) the defenders.

It’s a phenomenal complex. Because of 90% of MeToo’s victim women at university denounce the cases of acoso in large medida by the temor a repralias. Asimismo, no updated dates which allows you to take conscience, work on the problem and act on it. In 2008, el Community of Research on Excellence for All (CREA) published a pioneer studio about the gender violations in the university that determined that up to 65% of universities have adopted or concocted some situation in acosity in alumni, teaching or research.

“Universities never have tenacious tendencies to open this theme, but they are obligated by the most aristocratic”, underlines the cathedral Rosa Valls, subdirectora del CREA. As of now, these dates have not been revised or updated, but the CREA has applied for them on three occasions in the State Investigation Agency, dependent on the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Technology.

Tentations in saco roto

“Since 2008, no comparative investigation has been carried out about the theme. “We tried it but we did not support it”, confirms Patricia Melgar, member of CREA. Although the commission of inquiry has not yet published any figures, it is only its statements. “It’s what the numbers of the denunciations, which are due to the majority of the denunciations, and there is an investigation into what the CREA did”, that of a real photo of the problemargues Melgar.

Recall the investigator who “does not make it easy” realizes this work. “Not received with the brazies abiertos. Hubo muchas pressure why not interest that salieran the dates. I did not want to go through miedo“, insure.” There are many complications between universities and people with power. We live our lives when we investigate, “he added.

This investigation, which withdraws the state of the question, is key to show the magnitude of the problem. “Serve that the people separate that gender violence in the university is not residual, meaning that it has the same magnitude as the gender violence in the conjunct of society,” submits Melgar. Confidence that given that society has evolved since 15 years, a new study updated “is in the works.
