The Conference took place on April 5, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 13:00 p.m., on the Fuenlabrada campus of the Rey Juan Carlos University and was attended by 42 people. The presentation of the Conference was carried out by María Ávila Bravo-Villasante, professor at the URJC and doctor in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies. She contextualized gender violence as a specific typology of the multiple forms of violence suffered by women.

Violence against women is a violation of human rights (Istanbul Convention). Contextualizing violence against women as a violation of human rights allows us to address it as a structural problem. The presentation analyzed the data offered by national and international organizations and urged it to be perceived as a social, political and public health problem (WHO). In addition, a classification was offered of the multiple forms of violence that, even today, continue to exist in the world: sexual violence, rape in situations of armed conflict, forced prostitution and trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation, infanticide of girls, feticide, deliberate abandonment of girls, forced marriages, feminicide, female genital mutilation, sexual harassment and symbolic violence.

The second part of the exhibition analyzed gender violence as one of the ways in which violence against women materializes. According to article 1 of Organic Law 1/2004, of December 28, on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence, GBV is "violence that, as a manifestation of discrimination, the situation of inequality and relationships of "The power of men over women is exercised over them by those who are or have been their spouses or by those who are or have been linked to them by similar emotional relationships, even without cohabitation." During the intervention, it was explained that gender violence encompasses physical, psychological, sexual, patrimonial violence, economic and social violence, and vicarious violence.

In the third part of the intervention, the objectives of the project and the provisional results of participation were explained. The fundamental objective is to analyze the perception of gender violence and violence against women that URJC undergraduate students have. To measure perception, the results obtained in the 2021 Youth and Gender Barometer will be taken as a reference (Rodríguez et al. 2021). Regarding the participation data in the survey, the researcher highlighted that 347 students had participated; The number of women participants tripled that of men. Another notable fact is the absence of pure science and engineering profiles in the survey. As a remarkable fact, 88% of the participants consider gender violence as a very serious problem.
