The present article reviews the background information regarding the interaction of three concepts: masculinities, gender-based violence, and school. To this end, 44 scientific articles published between 2002 and 2023 were reviewed, covering a wide geographical área. The article offers an analysis of the background information found and some considerations on the importance of expanding the notion of gender-based violence. It also seel to highlight the tension generated by the configuration of masculinities in school and the gender-based violence that takes place there. Therefore, it considers the school not only as a physical place but also as a symbolic space in which discourses that reinforce or regulate hegemonic ways of being existing take place, both for individuals and for the fabric of their interactions. Finally, it opens up a broad research horizon for addressing these concepts within the framework of eradicating gender-based violence.
