However, less attention has been paid to the potential health improvements following the initial support received by victims. Methods: This study examines the positive health outcomes among survivors of GBV and IGV after they engaged with the "MeToo route," an initiative of the MeToo movement aimed at raising awareness about gender violence and fostering solidarity through support networks that traveled through 13 Spanish universities through more than 20 events in September 2022. Results: Using communicative methodology, survivors shared how their health, previously harmed by their experiences of violence, improved as a result of the support provided after knowing the MeToo support network.
