The Organic Law 1/2004, of December 28, of Measures of Comprehensive Protection against Gender Violence, states in its Explanatory Memorandum: " Gender violence is not a problem that affects the private sphere. On the contrary, it manifests itself as the most brutal symbol of the inequality that exists in our society. It is a violence directed against women for the very fact that they are considered by their aggressors, lacking the minimum rights of freedom, respect and capacity for decision. " The law also states that public authorities cannot be alien to gender-based violence, which is one of the most flagrant attacks on fundamental rights such as freedom, equality, life, security and non-life. (i) discrimination as proclaimed in our Constitution, in which Article 9.2 states the obligation to adopt, by public authorities, measures of positive action to make these rights real and effective by removing obstacles which prevent or hinder their fullness. On the other hand, it is also necessary to take account of the recommendations of the international organizations in the sense of providing a comprehensive response to the violence that is exercised against women. Title I of this law also specifies the obligations of the Educational System in the transmission of values of respect for the dignity of women and equality between both genders, since the fundamental objective of education is to provide a comprehensive training that allows students to form their own identity, as well as to construct a conception of reality that integrates the knowledge and ethical assessment of that identity. A large part of violent behavior is formed during the socialization process, so the school, as a fundamental space in which socialization and the generation of relationships occur, should guide this process by contributing to the process of socialization. to eliminate violence in general from our society and especially violence against women. In order to eradicate this type of behaviour, preventive measures should therefore be adopted, aimed at promoting education based on equality, non-discrimination on grounds of sex, peaceful resolution of conflicts and rejection of any kind of violence.
