Abstract

Objective: to analyze the perception of university students about the actors involved in intimate partner violence. Method: this is a research with a qualitative approach carried out in the student's homes at the Federal University of Rio Grande, in the city of Rio Grande/RS. Four students from each household participated in the study, totaling 28 participants. All answered the semi-structured individual interview, carried out in 2019. Results: the perception of university students on the subject reveals the man as the perpetrator of violence and the woman as a victim. However, bidirectional violence was also recognized. They talk about the need to take care of this man. Victims are seen as helpless women, lacking the courage to come forward. They also discuss the need for an effective support network and for disseminating more information on the subject. Final considerations: the university, as a training institution, is fertile ground for the transformation of social thinking and co-responsibility for confronting this violence.
