The work reconstructs a complex panorama of insecurity and feminist mobilizations in search of recognition, prevention, attention, and satisfactory resolution of gender violence in society as well as in the university. Within a critical context in the city of Puebla, a student movement arose in the BUAP Medicine career, which was called Asamblea 25/02, through which the student community demanded and declared a satiety before violence as well as the demand for justice.

The movement’s agenda was divided into internal and external security. For the last one, assaults, levantones, kidnappings and murders where problematized, while for the internal, feminist colleagues emphasized the climate of insecurity that still exists inside the university due to acts of harassment and sexual harassment by administrators, directors, teachers, students and staff of the DASU to university women.

With a critical approach, gender and intersectional perspective, we consider it relevant to approach student mobilization at BUAP that led to a rethinking of insecurity with the university population and repositioned the issue of harassment and sexual harassment in the public arena despite the questions and attacks that professors, managers and students expressed claiming that it was not a priority issue and that it was outside the violent and insecure context that the university community lives.

Through hemerographic monitoring from local websites that covered the events, resuming the releases from the asamblea universitaria and from the experience of participating in the university movement, it is intended to show the process through which the mobilization has proposed a transformation on gender violence in the university. The problem has been taken up from the same student population and we will show some of the responses to their demands from the institution.

Keywords : harassment; sexual harassment; university movement; violence.
