Master in lifelong learning in prevention, detection, and intervention in sexual violence from an inter-disciplinary perspective

This master's degree from Ramon Llull University, in collaboration with the International Academic Network for the Study of Prostitution and Pornography (RAIEPP) and the La Sur Association, was created to address the alarming issue of sexual violence against women from a global and interdisciplinary perspective.

Sensitive to gender perspectives, the master's degree is rooted in the structural analysis of inequality between men and women, aiming to examine sexual violence against women that is legitimized through certain socially and institutionally accepted practices. The master's degree also has a clear professional focus, including curricular internships, as well as training and supervision in research.

This master's degree offers a three-pronged approach aimed at professionals in the fields of education - prevention and detection of sexual violence -, care - diagnosis and intervention - and law - regulation and protection - to provide key professional sectors with the theoretical framework, strategies, tools and resources necessary to understand and act against this multifaceted issue from an interdisciplinary perspective.

The master's degree is particularly aimed at professionals in the educational, social, healthcare, and legal sectors, addressing their specific training needs in preventing and responding to sexual violence. Its goal is to promote coordinated actions among the various stakeholders involved, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the problem.

Holders of a bachelor's degree in: Psychology, Early Childhood and/or Primary Education, Sociology, Social Work, Social Education, Law, Nursing, Medicine, Criminology,...
