Violence towards LGBT population

Sažetak: U ovom radu daje se pregled vrsta nasilja s kojima se susreću LGBT osobe i posljedice koje nasilje ostavlja na njih. Također, predstavit ćemo dosadašnje spoznaje o tome tko su najčešći počinioci nasilja i koja su njihova zajednička obilježja. Nadalje, govorit ćemo na koji način učiniti pravodobnu prevenciju i koje aktivnosti mogu biti provedene od strane obrazovnih institucija ili stručnjaka. Pobliže ćemo objasniti proces ⹂outanja”; trenutak razotkrivanja seksualnosti osobe svojoj obitelji, prijateljima te ulogu socijalnog radnika u tom procesu. Nasilje nad LGBT osobama mora biti sagledano u širem kontekstu; na globalnoj razini. Zaključno, dani su prijedlozi za bolju osposobljenost stručnjaka za rad s LGBT populacijom, osnaživanja, podrške i stvaranja sigurnog okruženja za LGBT osobe. Također, predložena su praktična i istraživačka pitanja, koja daju novi temelj za buduća istraživanja prava LGBT osoba i sprječavanja nasilja.Abstract: This essay talks about all kinds of homophobic violence which the LGBT population is going through and the impact it has on them.
