Abstract

Introduction. Education is one of the main pillars in people’s socialization, which is why this research focuses on studying experiences, opinions and distortions of the academic community in terms of equality and gender violence, with one objective: elaborating a diagnostic analysis to be used for the development of effective equality policies that improve or transform the education and training of students and staff within the Institution. Methodology. To put this innovative research —the first one to include the academic community as a whole: students, teachers and researchers, administration and service staff— into practice, a questionnaire was designed, divided into five areas covering subjects such as equality, consumption and media content, gender violence and perception of equality policies. The data obtained were statistically analyzed with Excel and SPSS. Results. The study comprises a participation total of 3,542 members of the academic community at the University of Valladolid (Spain). The women are more aware and committed. Besides, 50% of participants defined gender violence erroneously and were unaware of the current equality policies of the University. The majority supported a commitment from the Institution in educating, training and raising awareness on equality-related matters among the academic community. Conclusions. A greater male involvement in the struggle for gender equality is necessary. The communication of the Institution on its equality policies must be improved so that they are effective among the university community.
