Social networks are present in people's daily lives, they help social development, the creation of programs and awareness campaigns. They can also lead to actions of violence or threats of violence that occur as a result of personal interaction. The objective of this article was to describe the results of violent actions carried out through networks among students of the Law degree at the American University, Paraguay, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The quantitative approach, descriptive scope and non-experimental cross-sectional design were used. The population was made up of 233 law students at the American University of Paraguay; a probabilistic sample of 215 was chosen at random. The results showed that the main reasons for violence were others not reflected in the instrument, followed by sexual violence. The violence was carried out through aggressive comments towards the victim's person or his body and mostly through private messages. The people who carried out the actions were generally unknown from their own profiles or from false profiles. Feelings of fear, insecurity, helplessness and stress were generated in the victims.
