Gender differences regarding ICT. Teachers' attitudes towards ICT
Dado que las TIC son extremadamente beneficiosas dentro y fuera del contexto escolar, y es escasa la información que existe sobre por qué las estudiantes tienden a estar por detrás de sus homólogos masculinos en cuanto a su uso, este artÃculo analiza el rol del profesorado de secundaria, quienes, en numerosas ocasiones, promueven y mantienen los estereotipos asociados a las diferencias de género, y cuyo comportamiento (consciente o inconscientemente) sitúa a las adolescentes en un segundo plano en cuanto a las TIC se refiere.Since ICT are extremely advantageous in and out of the school context and very little is known about the reasons why female students seem to be backward if compared with their male counterparts and missing many of these technological benefits; this review analyses what the scientific literature produces regarding the role of secondary teachers who, in many occasions, act as developers and maintainers of many of these gender differences and stereotypes, and whose behavior towards students –consciously or unconsciously- places girls in a second position when it comes to ICT

Prevention and sensitiviy about gender violence
La violencia de género es un problema que radica en los valores y principios del patriarcado, que regÃa en la mayorÃa de sociedades hasta hace poco y que colocaba a la mujer en una posición social inferior a la del hombre, legitimando el uso de la violencia para garantizar el mantenimiento de esta jerarquÃa. Con la democracia, se produjo una quiebra en esta ideologÃa, iniciándose la puesta en marcha de acciones encaminadas a la lucha para la erradicación de esta problemática. Cabe destacar la Ley Orgánica 1/2004, que introduce medidas para la detección y prevención de dicha violencia.Domestic violence is a problem that resides in the principles of patriarchy, which governed in most societies until recently, and which placed women in an inferior social position than that of men, legitimising the use of violence to guarantee the continuity of this hierarchy. With the arrival of democracy, this ideology was fractured, starting the launching of actions intended to eradicate these problems. The Oraganica Law 1/2004 must be emphasised, since it introduced varied measures for the detection and prevention of gender violence
