Abstract

This study analyzes the strategies implemented by universities to prevent and address gender-based violence in academic settings. Using a multilevel approach, the research identifies normative, pedagogical, and structural actions aimed at transforming institutional dynamics and fostering gender-inclusive educational spaces. The findings highlight significant progress in awareness-raising and comprehensive victim support, yet challenges persist in institutionalization and policy sustainability. The study emphasizes the need to strengthen gender mainstreaming and inter-institutional coordination to ensure long-term impact.
