Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilken forskning och kunskap det finns kring våld i nära relationer mellan samkönade par. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur samhällsinsatserna ser ut för våldsutsatta personer i samkönade relationer som söker hjälp i ett heteronormativt samhälle.

Abstract [en]

It is known that domestic violence in same-sex couples is an issue that needs to be addressed similarly to the discourse of domestic violence in heterosexual relationships or violence against women. Therefore, it is of interest to examine what research there currently is to be found on the matter. There is also an importance to examine what kind of support same-sex couples can acquire from different social agencies in relation to domestic violence. Because of the limited research on the subject, there is a need for more empirical research. Due to a restricted level of knowledge within the Swedish research on this subject, the study will discuss the topics without being bound to a specific place. This actuality is taken into account however and is also analyzed in the study. The purpose of this study is to examine what knowledge there is in connection to domestic violence in same-sex couples. Additionally, the study aims to examine how the support for same-sex couples is designed in a heteronormative society. To be able to achieve this, material have been collected through previous empirical research. A systematic literary research method has been used to collect the data for this study. In the result and analysis, various themes were constructed which are used to answer the question formulations. Some of these are: the connection between homophobia and domestic violence in same-sex couples, intersectionality and power as a theory as well as how they can help analyze domestic violence in same-sex couples and also what knowledge and experience professionals have about violence in same-sex couples. These themes are in turn divided into subtitles and all the themes are related to violence in same-sex couples. It became clear during the study, that the reception HBTQ-people get from different social services as well as people in their close proximity is going to influence their prerequisites when it comes to recognizing and defining domestic violence in the relationship. This circumstance is also affected by the heteronormative society and it’s patriarchal structure. This is usually displayed in ignorant meetings with medical personnel, family members but also strangers. The perspective on how the discourse regarding HBTQ-people, gender and sexuality is affecting same-sex couples is also a reoccurring topic in the study. Too insure to what extent this affect has and how negative stereotypes and norms can be extinguished, for the purpose of widening the knowledge about domestic violence in same-sex couples, there is a need for more research.
