Abstract

Through these pages, will be presented a brief outline of the gender perspective and the need to be introduced seriously in education. It is a relevant issue, and it will be so, as long as women continue to be deferred from society to some degree. For this reason, and in view of the reality of the demonization of the struggles for gender equality and feminism that claims it, this document tries to arouse the interest to know more about these issues and thus be able to choose it with a mature criterion or leave it on the side with a reasonable foundation. That is to say, to avoid acting according to the movement of the masses but from the sensible and proper criterion that gives the knowledge or know the expression of a phenomenon or any reality. This text, likewise, invites tolerance from the knowledge of reality and not to cement the difference resulting from the lack of open and sincere dialogue.
