Romantic love is dangerous for many women. Violence against them (VAW) and femicides increase and are mostly perpetrated by their (ex) partners. The Objective of the present was to describe the interpretations of Romantic Love and VAW of men and women who go to the University in La Paz; the approach is qualitative of descriptive exploratory type, based on focus groups and a scale. Despite sharing some indicators, men and women interpret them differently, but these respond to the traditional image of romantic love, where VAW is naturalized, so a possible way to counteract it is by deconstructing romantic love, and gender stereotypes that they promote it.
