Machismo is a behavior learned as a consequence of dominant cultures, it remains in force in today's society, causing discrimination towards the female gender through actions and derogatory words in relation to their weakness, physical and psychological abuse is the most characteristic relevant. Therefore, this article aims to determine to what extent the use of the Storyboarder tool reduces the attitude towards machismo in high school adolescents at the Las Delicias Educational Unit in the city of Santo Domingo. To this end, the research was framed in a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, based on real situations. The population was made up of 124 second-year high school students from the "Las Delicias" Educational Unit. The sample was 40 students (20 experimental group and 20 control group). The type of sampling is intentional non-probabilistic. A survey-type instrument was applied aimed at students from 14 years of age and older, called the Attitudes Towards Machismo Scale and includes 46 items, made up of five dimensions, under a Likert-type scaling. The instrument was subjected to expert assessment, its reliability once the pilot test was carried out was 0.93 coefficient on the Cronbach scale, it was possible to conclude that when the intervention was carried out with the Storyboarder tool, the majority of the students showed a low attitude, which indicates a positive change in their perception and disposition towards the subject of study.
