Recognizing the dichotomy between innate and acquired gender, this study analyzes the relationships between men and women particularly, in the education sector among young students. This cross-sectional study carried out a questionnaire survey administered to a convenience sample, made up of 380 students from 3 university institutions in Goma, North Kivu, DRC. The themes evaluated concern knowledge towards gender and attitudes towards transdiversity in the training environment. The results show that the majority of respondents (three out of five) admit having perpetrated acts of violence in a university environment during the 12 months of reference. They openly manifest more unequal views of gender promotion. These results illustrate the need to improve the more egalitarian and inclusive learning environment, through awareness raising on positive and hemogenic masculinities in training settings in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
