Let us remember that the Liwen Center serves women over 18 years of age who are victims of gender violence, especially in the context of a couple, offering them support in psychological, social and legal matters. Its work with the ULS has been strengthened through the agreement signed by the University with SERNAM in 2012, coordinated by the institution's academic, Georgina García.

Workshops, talks and dialogues have been part of the actions carried out in this alliance for the prevention of gender violence and the work to support its victims, which has been developed through three axes incorporated in the agreement: design of actions that promote emotional relationships without violence and the generation of professionals with training in matters of domestic violence; joint work to develop specific agreements considering the particularities of the regional reality; and permanent coordination of the technical teams defined by both institutions, to develop the agreed work agenda.
