Abstract [sv]

Denna studie fokuserar på hur fenomenet sexuellt våld beskrivs som problem i det sociala arbetets fält. Dess syfte är att undersöka hur de som i sin yrkesutövning möter sexuellt våld uppfattar och definierar problemet. Studien utfördes ur kvalitativ ansats och genomfördes medelst halvstrukturerade intervjuer, vars resultat sedan analyserades genom genusteori och feministiska perspektiv. Dess övergripande resultat visar att problemet sexuellt våld i socialt arbete förstås som ett särskilt svårt och känsligt problem med tydliga kopplingar till föreställningar om kön. Det beskrivs som nära knutet till andra typer av våld men särskiljs genom sin anknytning till sex och sexualitet. Av studien framgår vikten av att utmana vår förståelse av genus och att söka mer kunskap om problemet sexuellt våld för att kunna arbeta vidare med problemet på ett adekvat sätt.

Abstract [en]

This study focuses on how the phenomena of sexual violence is formulated as a problem within the field of social work. The purpose of the study is to examine how those who face the problem of sexual violence in the execution of their duties perceive it and and define it. The study was performed from a qualitative viewpoint and was conducted through semi-structured interviews, the results of which were consequently analyzed using gender theory and feminist perspectives. The overall result indicates that the problem of sexual violence is considered an especially complicated and sensitive subject, and largely subject to individual respondents conceptions about gender. Sexual violence is generally perceived as closely linked to other types of violence, but also differentiated by its connection to sex and sexuality. This study reveals the importance of challenging our understanding of gender and of seeking additional knowledge in order to further our understanding of sexual violence in order to appropriately work with it in the future.
