Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To know the characteristics of gender violence that underlies among adolescents in the context of leisure, their behavior and how they overcome these conflicts in leisure contexts where the consume alcohol.

METHOD: Qualitative study, with an ethnographic and feminist approach, with the participation of young people aged 16 to 22, frequenters of nightlife contexts and alcohol consumers, residents of two Andalusian provinces and one of Castilla-La Mancha. The participants were selected through intentional sampling and interviewed in depth.

RESULTS: Adolescents frequently suffer from gender-based violence in leisure contexts that they assume normally as part of the role of having fun, while they use their own protection strategies to minimize risks. The abuse of alcohol and other drugs increases the possibility that a gender violence event take place.

CONCLUSION: Gender-based violence among young people in the context of leisure, presents special characteristics that it is necessary to know in order to design preventive policies. The most vulnerable are young women who consume alcohol intensively. They usually go to the hospital emergency department for being unconscious due to alcohol consumption.
