The aim of this article is to conduct a review of research on gender violence and communication strategies that have been designed and implemented in national and Latin American universities to raise awareness on this type of violence. A qualitative methodology with a hermeneutic design and gender perspective was used for data collection and analysis. A vast research work was found on gender violence in Spain and North America and some in Latin America, as well as some initiatives in the field of communication. The lack of articulation that research has with campaigns against gender violence within universities is discussed, as well as the lack of commitment of institutions to this public health problem that is gradually becoming more visible within the universities thanks to student mobilization.
