MINGO, Araceli. “Together we take away the fear.” Feminist Students Against Sexist Violence. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.31, pp.3-23.  Epub Sep 25, 2020. ISSN 2007-2872.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.20072872e.2020.31.703.

In order to learn about the work carried out by feminist students whose groups took on the task of denouncing the macho violence that occurred in various spaces at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the author requested in this research the participation of 11 of them. The analysis of the information that was gathered during the interviews, as well as other sources, allows to appreciate, among other things, the important work they have done in accompanying those who have suffered such violence, as well as in making visible the constant presence of such violence within an institution where, as is the case in almost all higher education institutions, such behavior has become normalized.
