Sexual Diversity and Social Work: Formative Analysis

Abstract

Studies show that in patriarchal, sexist and heteronormative environments homosexuals are susceptible to marginalization, violence and / or social exclusion (Butler, 2003). L to lack of training and assertiveness towards the gay community can promote their vitimización through social services (Campo-Arias & Herazo).

The purpose of this study is to identify the educational level offering social work degrees in Spanish universities regarding sexual diversity. The methodology used is based on a design by empirical descriptive instrumental kind through observation. The results show the low specific training regarding sexuality and sexual diversity.
