The work presents the development of a didactic sequence that aimed to promote reflections by sixthgrade students (between 10 and 12 years old) from a private educational institution in the city of Bogotá-Colombia, from biology classes, on the dynamics activities associated with the increase in gender and intra-family violence during the quarantine period, due to COVID-19.The activity consisted of developing a workshop based on the reading of texts that address the increase in domestic and gender violence in Bogotá during this time of the pandemic.We found that the students highlight the increase in domestic work for women in their home, that members of their families have gone through episodes of gender or intra-family violence, discussing some possibilities to overcome this violence.We defend the importance of teaching biology to problematize issues related to social justice, mainly in the days of COVID-19.
