The present research aims to explore the construction of male identity in young men who belong to anti-patriarchal activism collectives in Peru. For this, 7 semi-structured interviews were conducted with young adults between 20 and 40 years old, belonging to these groups in Lima, Cusco, Chiclayo and Piura. This qualitative research has a narrative design, which allows exploring the construction of male identity over 3 periods: before entering the group, during the group and in its future projection. Main results show that, in the past, activists approached gender and the collective through significant ties with feminist women, the influence of volunteering, courses, social networks and their desire to change. In the present, the deconstruction process generates fear and guilt, but also well-being. There are advances such as reflection on harmful behaviors and the establishment of healthier relationships with men and women, and challenges such as tensions with feminist groups and harassment by men. Likewise, they reject the term “new masculinities” as it lacks a political meaning, and they conceive the work of the collective as efforts to generate egalitarian masculinities that are free from violence. In the future, they are projected by linking their activism with their profession, strengthening the work in the collective, and implementing an alliance at the national level. In addition, they perceive that the political context of a second round between conservative candidates is a challenge for their groups, constituting a period of resistance to maintain what has been achieved.
