El enfoque diferencial surge como estrategia de política pública destinada a la protección y reivindicación de derechos de las poblaciones históricamente afectadas por el conflicto armado en Colombia. Asimismo, el Estado colombiano se ha encargado de generar un numeroso conjunto de disposiciones jurídicas, que pretende ser la herramienta mediante la cual se satisfaga la protección de los derechos vulnerados en el contexto del conflicto armado. En ese sentido, el objetivo de este artículo es realizar un análisis crítico del concepto de políticas públicas con enfoque diferencial a partir de los conceptos de multiculturalidad, interculturalidad y democracia radical, teniendo en cuenta que las poblaciones objeto de políticas con enfoque diferencial son también aquellas que reclaman la profundización de la democracia y la ciudadanía, pues han sido asimiladas dentro del concepto universalista de la democracia liberal-representativa. De esta forma, el análisis político crítico parte de categorías como interculturalidad y democracia radical, que se emplearán como conceptos transversales para el análisis de políticas públicas con enfoque diferencial y para pensar en la oportunidad de proyectar el accionar de los sistemas políticos desde otras epistemologías, que partan de la diferencia y la no homogeneización.

In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the number of LGTBIQ+ characters and storylines appearing in serialized fiction in the United States. This has gained importance due to the effects of media discourses on social imaginaries with regard to the sexual diversity of a community that suffers a high degree of social, political and labor discrimination. The objective is to critically analyze which are the general trends in recent years. Hence, this research is based on a critical discourse analysis of fictional series from the last decade, from two levels: first, the macro-level, in which the discourse around which the storylines are based is analyzed; and a second micro-level, which addresses the issues of lexicalization, focus and conceptual polarization. The results suggest the existence of a dual pattern in these characters, whereby they are based within the construction of a homonormative narrative and/or otherwise placed in marginal or socially excluded settings. Moreover, many traditionally common stereotypes are maintained, and sexual identity and orientation continue to feature prominently among the main story arcs of these characters. It is thus concluded that quantitative growth is insufficient if it is not accompanied by greater normalization.

Con el respaldo de la Red Ecuatoriana de Psicología por la Diversidad LGBTI (REPsiD), se conforma el proyecto LIBRES de Bullying Homofóbico, que brinda asistencia psicológica, asesoría educativa y legal, grupos de apoyo, talleres de sensibilización e investigación. En este contexto, para el desarrollo de talleres de sensibilización, se eligió el diseño de investigación-acción, que permite unir la teoría y la práctica, dando respuesta a este problema social identificado, con la hipótesis de que los asistentes a talleres de sensibilización presentan una tendencia positiva hacia la aceptación a la homosexualidad. ; Homophobic bullying describes the specific type of violence directed towards people because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In Ecuador, there are reports that indicate that within school contexts, 40% of interviewed have been discriminated, 24.6% have been excluded and 25.8% have suffered violence. The first investigation in Ecuador on school bullying in 2017 showed that almost 60% of students between the ages of 11 and 18 report having been victims of a violent act in school. Within this context, with the support of the Ecuadorian Network of Psychology for LGBTI Diversity, the LIBRES Homophobic Bullying Project was formed, providing psychological counseling, educational and legal advice, support groups, training and research. This report details the results from the first component of workshops, held in conjunction with the local Quito government during June 2017, with 145 adolescents during 10 two-hour play workshops of which 91% of participants considered the workshop to be successful and 94% considered the information received was useful. The scale that measures attitudes towards homosexuality will be applied three months after the workshop as a followup. It is considered that this line of research will provide useful information even for the design of public policy. ; Mesa de trabajos libres: Estudios de Género y Subjetividad ; Facultad de Psicología

Joseph talks about rights and reality for South African gay community. Discussing lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, intersex and queer rights (LGBTI) in South Africa is deeply contradictory. On the one hand, the country boasts some of the most progressive LGBTI rights in the world--from its constitution, protecting people from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, to legalized same sex unions. Cape Town is a popular holiday destination for the international LGBTI community, as well as being the centre for the 'pink rand'. In fact South Africa leads on the African continent when it comes to LGBTI rights. Adapted from the source document.

Recent research shows that lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and intersex (LGBTI) rights have become a core value of the European Union. Concurrently, hostility towards LGBTI rights is increasing across the European Union, including through anti-gender mobilisations, which reject 'gender ideology'. This study employs sequential discourse analyses to discover: (1) the regional specificities in anti-gender discourse; and (2) whether the European Commission is discursively responsive to these differences. We find that the European Commission adapts its LGBTI discourse to actual and expected regional specificities, both in the issues discussed and in the frames employed. These conclusions are relevant because they show that European Union discourse on LGBTI rights is not homogeneous and may be strategically adapted to regional contexts, which has implications for the purported universal protection of LGBTI rights in the European Union. Additionally, these findings shed light on the important but neglected role that social mobilisations play in sensitising European Union actors to regional variation in political attitudes and values.

This article examines the role of the Pentecostal Evangelical movement in the success of the &lsquo ; No&rsquo ; campaign in the Colombian peace plebiscite of 2 October 2016, where Colombians voted to reject the peace agreement which had been reached between the Colombian government and the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC). It discusses the reasons that motivated large sectors of the Evangelical electorate to oppose the agreement, paying particular attention to the success of the argument that the agreement was contaminated with what Pentecostals termed &lsquo ; gender ideology.&rsquo ; In terms of methodology, the article draws on a variety of sources, including interviews, field observation and written sources both scholarly and popular, including press and Internet articles. We track how &lsquo ; gender&rsquo ; comes to be shorthand for the host of social ills with which it was associated during the debates around the Colombian peace plebiscite through use of the term &lsquo ; gender ideology&rsquo ; . We posit that it is the links between &lsquo ; gender&rsquo ; modernity, colonialism and the development industry, its academic, value-neutral quality and its status as an isolated technical term that allow &lsquo ; gender&rsquo ; to become a proxy for a wide range of social dissatisfactions. We conclude that the success of the &lsquo ; No&rsquo ; campaign was possible due to the convergence of several sectors of society, particularly between the political right and a social movement which, inspired by religious values, opposed the recognition of LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex) rights and the use of the term &lsquo ; gender&rsquo ; in the agreements.

Each year, thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) asylum seekers apply for asylum in EU Member States.This book considers the position of LGBTI asylum seekers in European asylum law. Developing an encompassing approach to the topic, the book identifies and analyzes the main legal issues arising in relation to LGBTI people seeking asylum including: the underestimation of the relevance of criminalization of sexual orientation as well as the large scale violence against trans people in countries of origin by some European states; the requirement to seek State pro

Discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people is widespread and LGBTI exclusion from economic markets, vital services and political spaces is entrenched. This is not just a personal problem, it is a development challenge; not only because discrimination is inherently unjust, but also because "there are substantial costs—social, political, and economic—to not addressing the exclusion of entire groups of people." Understanding the barriers LGBTI people face in accessing markets, services, and spaces is important for designing more inclusive policies and programs.
