Proposals for the university community

For two days they were working on proposals to introduce the campus authorities, the vice-chancellor, Dr. Diala López, and academic secretary, Heydi Guillén, a class methodology that addresses issues of sex education, gender-based violence, in order to reduce the problems faced by young university students.

These proposals also arise from the analysis carried out by the members of the commission and the CEIMM in conjunction with some teachers from the Humanities area to the research "Violence, Gender and Spirituality".

The space also led to dialogues on what members have developed in dealing with issues of gender-based violence that have been presented in both the community and the university.

Finally, teacher Zocorro Wood gave a presentation to help members learn more about the concepts of discrimination and violence on the Caribbean Coast.
