Introduction
According to the European Commission, gender-based violence is violence directed against a person because of that person's gender or violence that affects persons of a particular gender disproportionately.
Violence against women has been widely talked about, and awareness has been spread because it's high incidence rates, and it's consequences, that have resulted, among others in:
Physical harm,
Sexual harm,
Psychological harm,
Economic harm
The worst cases even result in femicides, turning the matter into a really serious one that needs to be addressed from every environment and institution, being able to help if needed.
Remember this learning objective and take in into account throughout the activity:
By the end of this task, the student will get familiar with gender-based violence situations by creating an action protocol appliable in their university context.
Task
Your group, consisting of 4 people, is invited to participate as counselors in the “CAPS”, a center for psychological attention in Javeriana University. Your task is to help write a protocol of action in case of gender violence in the institution that includes 5-7 steps.
Process
We are going to see a gender-based violence campaign called #IsThisOk and we want you to reflect on the situation presented, by answering the questions proposed:

-
Can you describe the girl and the boy´s attitudes from what you observed in the video?
-
What seemingly ‘small gestures’ do you think can be violent in the character’s attitude?
-
Has this ever happened to you before? Have you been offered help?
Now, we invite you to read through this article, which presents ways in which you can help a person undergoing a gender-based violence situation. Grab some ideas from here to design your own protocol. Remember that it has to be appliable to the context of the University.
