Feminism was born as a struggle against social relations based on power, its purpose is to denounce, make it visible and fight against inequality between women and men, this has motivated the emergence of feminist movements that fight to eradicate violence and gender equality in all its manifestations. The objective of this research is to describe the perceptions that frame the practices of feminism among adolescents in the third year of high school at the Unidad Educativa “Fray Vicente Solano”, during the school year 2022 – 2023, contemplating gender and the socializing agents that influence the development of positive and negative conceptions of feminism. The study has a qualitative approach, with a phenomenological type of design and descriptive scope. We worked with a population of 21 adolescents, including course parents and some student council representatives of the institution since September 2022. Semi-structured interview and focus group techniques were used. The results revealed that the family and educational environment influences the students' perception of feminism, which is characterized by gender stereotypes, moreover, the study presents that there is a negative perception of the feminist movement in the city of Cuenca. Although, it is concluded that adolescents have a positive perception of feminism, the feminist movement is stereotyped as violent and vandalistic.
