Social struggles have led to the legal recognition of the rights of LGTBI+ people in
some countries. Even so, violence against LGTBI+ people is a social problem
throughout the world, and has resulted in the vulnerability and victimization of the
members of this group. In Spain, no research has been published to date that
analyzes this problem in the university context. Considering the scarcity of studies on
the identification of this type of violence in Spain, the main objective of this study
was to identify violence against LGBTI+ people in Catalan universities. We
administered a battery of questions to a sample of 571 university students from six
universities in Catalonia (77.8% women) between 17 and 55 years old (M = 21.0; SD =
3.96). Of the 12 situations of violence presented, psychological violence was
identified as the most common type. Within our sample, 61.0% reported either being
aware of or having experienced some type of violence related to the university
context and motivated by the sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender
expression of the victim. The results also show that these types of violence in the
university context are rarely reported, especially when they do not include physical
violence. This study highlights a previously unreported problem and identifies future
research avenues in university contexts.
