 Abstract

In Peru, the issue of intimate partner violence, which includes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner, is significant. Statistics show that a high percentage of women experience psychological, physical, and sexual violence. The Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations highlights that this violence affects women's mental health, self-worth, and puts them at risk of femicide. This study explores the link between sexist attitudes and jealousy in university students' relationships as potential indicators of violence. It involved 138 undergraduates, selected randomly, and used quantitative methods, including surveys on sexism and jealousy. The findings reveal a statistically significant but low positive correlation between sexist attitudes and jealousy in these relationships.
