This article explores gender-based violence complaints presented by Mexican female high school students. It is the result of qualitative research conducted in the five high schools of the Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. It analyzes the number of situations, the kind of violence and the aggressors reported both formally according to the official protocol, and informally through banners (“tendederos públicos”) or social media. It discusses why these informal means are preferred and how the schools’ communities evaluate this practice.

Keywords : students; high school; sexual violence; protocol; complaints.
