The Institute seeks to identify the causes and consequences of the phenomenon of violence through ongoing scientific research that contributes to the creation of public policies, strategies and initiatives to prevent or eliminate gender-based violence. This activity was attended by Dra. Milena de Reyes, Director of the Centro de Investigación Especializado en Salud (CIES); Mtro. Enrique Monrroy, Research Coordinator of the School of Legal Sciences; Mtro. Miguel Quintanilla, Coordinator of the Center for Health and Society Research (CISS); Lic.
