We propose an index to measure gender violence in university students (women and men). To build this index, a questionnaire about violence is applied to a representative sample of students. Then, the information is organized through an ecological model and the result is integrated in an index through the analytic hierarchy process. The proposed index was exemplified for students in the Chapingo Autonomous University (UACh). In the UACh, both women and men showed similar grades of direct violence, but women exhibited more social and emotional consequences. The proposed index allows us: 1) to identify factors that influence the reproduction of violence, 2) to incorporate opinions of experts, 3) to get information of multiple factors and perceptions that people have about violence. Finally, this index can be extended to evaluate others social issues.
