Abstract
Comprehensive sexuality education is presented as a fundamental preventive strategy against gender violence in the digital sphere. In this context, a training program is proposed that specifically addresses this problem. The proposal seeks to equip individuals with solid knowledge about sexuality, consent, and healthy relationships online, with the aim of counteracting gender violence that manifests itself in cyberspace. By integrating a gender perspective into sexuality education, the authors aim to empower people to recognize and combat forms of digital violence, thus promoting safer and more respectful online environments. This holistic approach seeks to prevent the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and behaviors, promoting a digital culture that supports gender equality and mutual respect.
