Abstract

Sexual violence is a subject that has been investigated over the years, but it has been neglecting man in the role of victim, with few studies investigating sexual violence in this perspective. However, the literature tells us that it is in fact a very complex reality and that it has a lot of impact on its victims. However, it is difficult to have an idea about the conceptualization that people have about this type of violence in men, as such this study has precisely the goal of understanding what the perception that a sample of university students has about sexual violence, perpetrated by women against men. For this purpose, thematic analysis was used to interpret eleven interviews of female students, after they read a vignette reflecting a situation of sexual violence. This analysis was performed using the Nvivo12 software, where it was possible to build a concept map, with the themes, subthemes and codes that reflected the responses provided by the participants. The results focus around the characterization of the subjetcs, the strategies used by the aggressors, the justifications/motivations for the use of these strategies, and the impact and consequences that result from them. The main conclusions point to the presence of social discourses based on stereotypes and the future need to deconstruct them.
