On the other hand, the session will be held 'Warning signs of an abusive relationship', in which there will be the testimony of women survivors of gender violence from the Ana Bella Foundation. They will contribute, from their personal experience, and from shared knowledge, alarm keys to identify an abusive partner relationship and will highlight the importance of reporting in situations of gender violence.

The URJC joins its voice to the Spanish university community

The Rey Juan Carlos University endorses the manifestos published by CRUE Spanish Universities and Network of Gender Equality Units for University Excellence. The URJC thus wants to join forces to, among all of us, contribute to achieving real and effective equality between men and women.
