Approximations to reality in a national context where according to the integrated system of statistics on violence against women of the Institute of statistics and geography of Mexico the prevalence of violence against women 15 years and further along in its life reaches a 66.1 percent, the University context is not alien to this symptom, reason by which the Autonomous National University of Mexico created in 1992 the University program of gender studies (PUEG), with a mission to investigate, develop activities teaching and extension around from an institutional and cross-cutting approach to gender equality.
It was the year 2016 the PUEG gave way to institutional strengthening that resulted in the CIEG, who has continued to generate transformative knowledge, i.e. research in view of its application to the University and social context.
Awareness-raising, training, dissemination, and generation of resources to address the mainstreaming of the University measures, along with general and local institutionalization, are part of the Mission of this University body.
Another institutional instances in which participates the UNAM is the National Observatory for gender equality in the institutions of higher education (ONIGIES), headed by the CIEG instance.
