    Male perception of academic women and its impact on gender equity in the university work environment is a transcendental topic addressed in the research project "TRAJECTORIES INTRALABORAL AND EXTRALABORAL OF THE ACADEMIC WOMAN IN TELEWORK AND PRESENT MODALITY; FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE” approved by Resolution No. UTA-CONIN-2023-0229-R. The main objective is to analyze the male perception towards female teachers and researchers and their influence on equal opportunities at the Technical University of Ambato. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was used, combining analytical, deductive, exploratory, descriptive and explanatory approaches, applying dogmatic, sociological, philosophical and historical-legal research techniques. The obtained result was a document of critical legal analysis that delves into this subject. Although great progress has been made in the valuation of women's academic abilities, with more positive male perceptions compared to previous periods, especially in careers involved the social area, conclusions highlight that certain stereotypes and unconscious biases still persist towards women in technical careers, which hinders their equal access to job opportunities and leadership positions in the university environment. In addition, gender gaps were detected in certain areas and isolated cases of discrimination or unequal treatment. Consequently, it is recommended to implement sensitization and awareness programs on gender equity, as well as to design institutional policies with a gender focus that promote true inclusion. It is also suggested to establish accessible complaint mechanisms, encourage greater female representation in leadership positions and carry out periodic evaluations that lead to a continuous improvement plan towards a fully equitable organizational culture within higher education institutions. These measures are fundamental to create a truly egalitarian academic environment, where women can develop their potential without facing unjustified barriers or limitations, thus contributing to the progress and intellectual enrichment of institutions and society in general
