Sexual violence is a phenomenon that persists in Salvadoran public schools, directly affecting the students, their families and the community. This article offers an analysis based on findings of the recent study: “Hegemonic masculinity and legitimation of sexual violence of male teachers in the Salvadoran public school” (2020), whose research subjects were, mainly, male teachers from public schools of San Salvador. This research affirms that the process of construction of the gender identity of male teachers has not escaped the androcentric and patriarchal cultural mandates that generate a hegemonic model of masculinity that influences their teaching practice. The article states that the social construction of hegemonic masculinity is intimately related to the forms of legitimization of sexual violence in the Salvadoran public school.
