Une enquete par questionnaire aupres de 2 747 eleves de 14 a 17 ans frequentant des ecoles publiques au Quebec a permis d’estimer la victimation homophobe et d’examiner ses impacts sur la perseverance scolaire. Alors que plus du tiers des eleves heterosexuels declarent avoir ete victimes d’au moins un incident a caractere homophobe durant les 6 a 8 mois precedant l’enquete, cette proportion s’eleve a 69 % pour les eleves lesbiennes, gais, bisexuels ou en questionnement. Les insultes et les moqueries touchent davantage les garcons alors que la cyberintimidation atteint davantage les filles. Parmi les impacts de la victimation homophobe, on releve l’absenteisme scolaire, le desir de changer d’ecole, un plus faible sentiment d’appartenance au milieu scolaire et des aspirations scolaires plus limitees. Ces impacts s’aggravent lorsque la victimation devient plus frequente. Ces resultats appellent a une intervention globale, concertee et coherente pour prevenir la violence homophobe en milieu scolaire.read more
