The family continues to be the socializing institution by nature. In this socializing role of the family, gender identity is being constructed in boys and girls, which must be aimed at that permanent quest for equality. The primary care nurse, within their roles has the opportunity to have access through the maternal, child, adult, mental health and elderly programs; to guide, advise and educate the family so that from childhood transmit, model and act the role of both women and men always based on social equality. This contribution from the nurse will bear fruit insofar as the latter has identified the gender stereotypes to which she may have been subjected, otherwise she ends up distorting the reality that the family seeks around gender equality in the upbringing of children and daughters. Finally, the better we approach social construction promoting the resources that the family needs to transform the upbringing of children respecting equality, to the same extent we make true prevention in domestic violence.
