    Gender-based violence constitutes a historical and persistent problem that severely undermines women’s freedom, dignity, and safety. The objective of this study was to describe the sociodemographic profile of victims and aggressors, the types of violence, and the perceptions of the Special Commission for the Attention and Review of Cases of Harassment, Discrimination, and Gender-Based Violence, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation at the University of Cuenca, during the period 2023-2024. A mixed-methods approach was employed. On the quantitative side, with a descriptive and cross-sectional scope, 53 case files involving 122 individuals were analyzed. Data were processed using SPSS v.28 and presented in tables and figures. On the qualitative side, with a phenomenological design, interviews were conducted with six members of the Commission, focusing on categories related to sociodemographic profiles, risk factors, and structural conditions. The findings revealed similarities between victims and aggressors in variables such as marital status, ethnicity, province of origin, and academic status, with differences observed in sex and gender. Psychological violence predominated among the cases analyzed. The main victims were young women between 18 and 25 years of age, often non-local students with limited support networks, who reported low self-esteem, fear, guilt, and social isolation. Aggressors did not conform to a single profile but reproduced power dynamics rooted in machismo and patriarchal structures. Within the university context, vulnerability factors emerged from a complex interplay of cultural, institutional, and personal elements. The primary measures implemented included the removal of aggressors, changes of class group, legal referrals, psychosocial support, and the activation of early-warning mechanisms.
