Abstract
- In this paper we reflect about acts of discrimination and violence in gender relationship in the university environment in the everyday life as tacit implications of the hidden gender curriculum. We try to distinguish the possibilities of generating gender interaction processes based on principles of effective equality. The theoretical contributions of this category are elements that guide to reflection. We used qualitative and quantitative methodology. Participants were students and teachers of human sciences at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala. The findings highlight that in spite of “politically correct” answers in favor of the equality and non-discrimination, the practices of discrimination, violence and sexism are maintained. For change, teachers need to be made aware of discrimination of gender and must assume greater engagement and sensitivity.
