2. National context, legal and administrative level(1)
Analytical key: legal frame
UPV/EHU’s 2011 Protocol Against Gender-Based Violence is currently being revisited
2004 law
✗ gender-based violence frame
✗ partner/ex-partner violence
✗ little development of preventive
mesaures
Impact
✗ limitations when answering to all
situations of SV
✗ central position of legal reports in
the university pathways

3. National context, legal and administrative level(1)
Analytical key: administrative configuration of the Spanish state
National diversity in Spain
✗ different levels of administrations and
regulations
Impact
✗ tensions between different
measures/regulations

4. Cultural context(2)
Analytical key: growing concern on sexual violence
An increasing interest in sexual violence and in
the ways to confront it.
Impact
In our case it has been easier to:
✗ Include our training in the official
training offer of the uni.
✗ Rise some issues for the new
protocol of the UPV/EHU
Not necessarily ensures openess to tackling SV in all universities

5. Institutional context
Analytical keys:
✗ Campus life characteristics
✗ Existence (or non-existence) of a permanent structure for gender and sexuality issues
✗ Pressence of associations and groups
✗ Size of the institution
✗ Existence (or non-existence) of protocols and/or regulations

6. Institutional context, University of the Basque Country
✗ Is there such thing as “campus life”?
✗ The role of the Equality Office (since 2009)
✗ Strong associative presence (feminist and LGBTIQ groups included)
✗ Big university (50.000 students, 5.000 staff members)
✗ Protocol against gender-based violence (in process of thorough revision)
