Sumario: This paper is the result of work from students of the Faculty of Nursing in Veraguas. Its purpose is to determine the prevalence of gender violence in university students, risks, lived experiences and percentage of university women who have suffered gender violence. The survey-type instrument, called the Ecuadorian author's violence test, consisted of closed questions grouped into three categories equivalent to three phases of gender violence, differentiated by color, traffic light style, for a sample of 201 university students. Results: 50% of the studied group turned out to be victims of some form of violence in the studied campus (18% in phase 1 and in phase 2 respectively, and 6% in phase 3). There was a significant statistical association between having witnessed violence in their environment as an infant and having had experience as a victim in adulthood; that is, apparently the behavior of the victim or the perpetrator seems to be learned. Physical violence ranked first in terms of frequency in the group studied, followed by economic, emotional and sexual in descending order.
