Sumario:Women face obstacles that prevent them from exercising their rights and living a life free of violence in all areas, including school. The Metropolitan Autonomous University (UAM) is facing a feminist student strike promoted by members of its community as a pressure mechanism for action to be taken counter to violence against women at the university and initiated by a specific case of violence in Cuajimalpa unit. The objective of this paper is to analyze the responses of the UAM to the requests of the feminist student strike of 2023 to glimpse the challenges to end the strike, but also that the UAM transforms itself and returns to its transformative vocation. The methodology is qualitative based on documentary review and statistical data. The UAM is questioned in its work as an educator, as a trainer, but also as a public university and institution. Specific actions are required such as: improving, expanding, and strengthening the regulations to act against violence; educate the community; integrate trained personnel; and a critical reflection that allows generating change, to improve university environments and resume the role of the university as an entity that transforms social reality.
