Abstract

Violence towards women and other people perceived as different to the prevailing norm: the case of educational centresSalto de línea Salto de línea This chapter presents a critical overview of research on violence, bullying and gender-based forms of violence, including homophobia, sexual harassment, abuse and sexism. It starts with a global summary of studies on violence and bullying against female students and youth minorities. It then goes on to look at the generally poorly-assessed intervention programmes. It highlights the need for a better link between policies formulated in Europe and those which originated at national and regional levels, as well as the necessity for further in-depth research into gender violence and assessment of the impact of school-based interventions.
