The experience of the Green Alert project is presented, a participatory action research aimed at tackling urban violence against university students in southeastern Mexico. It is managed by 15 student volunteers, the objective is to generate care for the personal integrity of university students through four actions aimed at promoting prosocial behaviors, which are: determining unsafe places and safe places, basic measures for their protection and security, attention to If you are a victim of crime, establish a virtual roll call to monitor your journey from home to university and vice versa. By implementing, it is possible to obtain acceptance by 300 students. The results show the need to actively involve the university and indicate that the best way to do it is through the media and communication technologies. It is concluded that it is possible to have participation of the population by solidarity to take care of personal integrity, it is required that the actions be continuous and preventive and not as an emerging resource from violent acts. It is important to support students who, with their own resources and energy, have pointed to a prevailing need, the right to protect their personal integrity during their time at university.
