Violence against men has become a problem because, for a long time, men have been ignored as the victim, and what prevents it are all the stereotypes under hegemonic masculinity, that sociocultural norm that orders what should being, thinking, acting and feeling men for all that, this study of hegemonic masculinity and violence against men had the general objective of knowing how hegemonic masculinity prevents the visibility of violence against men exercised by women in students of the careers of Gender and Development and Architecture of the University of Cuenca during the year 2022. To reach the main purpose, the specific objectives were to describe how violence against men exercised by women affects hegemonic masculinities and to compare how hegemonic masculinity influences male students in the Gender and Development and Architecture career at the University of Cuenca compared to violent situations. On the other hand, the quantitative methodology was used, with a descriptive research design, to obtain a significant sample, stratified sampling was applied, from which a sample of 126 male students was obtained, using a Likert scale questionnaire. The main results that could be seen is that men make their different realities invisible, continuing under the hegemonic masculinity, on the other hand, Gender and Development students maintain a better predisposition to try to build another type of masculinity by speaking and denouncing, while Contrary to architecture students who mostly prefer to keep quiet.
