Abstract
The issue of gender discrimination is a global challenge, and Ecuador is no exception. Within the Ecuadorian population, the importance of addressing gender as a means to achieve equal rights in historically discriminatory areas has been recognized. In this present study, the general objective was to develop a civic education program to improve high school students' attitudes towards sexist behaviors. To achieve this, research was conducted, which included a survey administered to 320 students aged between 15 and 18 years old. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between civic education and sexist attitudes among high school students. It was concluded that the majority of respondents exhibit a high level of active and engaged participation in civic activities. However, it was also identified that entrenched beliefs in certain gender stereotypes still persist.
