Hostigamiento y acoso acercamiento a estos tipos de violencia a partir de las vivencias del personal de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, México

Thus, in this paper bullying and harassment are considered forms of direct violence, using John Galtung's violence model (1969, 1998); bullying and harassment are defined according to the Mexican General Law for Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence (2007), as well as the studies by Roberto Castro and Verónica Vázquez García (2008), and by Araceli Mingo and Hortensia Moreno (2015), whose approaches -that give way to the scales of severity that violence can acquire- are revisited.
