Gender violence and sexual violence in reggaeton songs. Qualitative study

This study aims to analyse the most listened reggaeton songs on the YouTube platform, from 2015 to 2020, to identify the existence and typology of gender-based violence and specifically sexual violence. The selection included the ten most played songs of each year on the platform. In the end, 50 songs were selected, excluding ten that did not reflect gender-based violence in their lyrics. The methodology was qualitative, with a phenomenological design of the lyrics, using a mixed category system (inductive-deductive), with descriptive and interpretative codes. Atlas.ti v8.4 software was used to organize the information. The results showed the presence of physical, psychological, sexual, symbolic, and verbal violence.
