The theoretical contribution was developed with an emphasis in Paulo Freire, references focused on Human Rights Education and technology in teacher training. WQ, due to its dynamic, interactive, interdisciplinary and intercultural possibility, proved to be a possible resource for extension between university and community, in order to educate on human rights in a broad way. It is considered that educational training focused on Education in Human Rights and gender with the use of new technologies, as long as digital citizenship is guaranteed, can favor the training of critical people, in order to promote awareness, plurality and respect for differences.
