Abstract The present study is carried out in the "Republic of Cuba" school of the city La Paz, working during ten weeks with third and fourth elementary school children, under qualitative research modality, using techniques of data collection such as:non participant observation and participant, free word association, PhotoVoice and focus groups, which allowed to explore the main gender stereotypes in violence among students, the attributions they assigned and the assessments they stipulated for "women" and for "Males". The results obtained show marked stereotypes in students of both sexes, calling the male an "aggressor", while the woman "victim"; these stereotypes were related by the students themselves to physical violence and psychological violence, with emphasis on the first one. Thus, it was evident the existence of gender stereotypes in the violence experienced and perceived by the students themselves.
