he article describes factors that constitute and contextualize experiences of gender-basedviolence (GBV) lived by young people of the Universidad Austral de Chile. The results are based on a qualitative analysis of oral and written accounts, developed from grounded theory. The findings showed that the presence and chaining of the following elements is fundamental in how GBV is experienced, namely: gender identity, gender roles/stereotypes, significant figures, life spans, contexts of GBV and general psychological aspects. It was concluded that GBV -symbolic and explicit- affects the identities of young people from their essence, becoming evident through endoculturation and social learning. Such aggressions have a longitudinal scope and are experienced primarily in contexts such as: family, friends, school and social networks, mainly involving figures such as the mother, the teacher and the romantic partner.
