Introduction:

among the recognized forms of violence, gender violence related to sexual assault and rape is the least justifiable. For many, TV and Cinema, introduced in our homes, contribute to promote violent behaviors as a reflection that the narcissistic era has generated, with men capable of appealing to violence as a function of sexual pleasure and doing so through behaviors that deny human principles and women's rights consecrated by the history of our civilization.

Methods:

logical-dialectical and historical, based on experiences and updated scientific information of recognized value and usefulness.

Results:

based on scientific information on sexual assault, rape, harassment and other forms of sexual violence against women, consequences and interventions to prevent its consequences, it justifies the foresight of actions aimed at the protection of victims by forming commissions in charge of effective preventive actions, formulating recommendations on the composition and functions of municipal intersectoral work.
