Aproximaciones sobre la violencia de género en la vida de las estudiantes de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to describe the perceptions of female students at the University of Cuenca, during their academic life, about gender violence, its causes and types in 2022. The study was carried out based on a qualitative methodology with a perspective phenomenological and descriptive scope. The results allow us to point out that gender violence is reproduced from the existing social order, which is based on a structure based on power relations, the normalization of violent actions and the lack of knowledge about what gender violence implies. It should be noted that gender violence causes various effects such as loss of subjects, abandonment of the career and fear of entering classes, among others.
