Violence against LGBT community can manifest in different forms and exists in all spheres of society, including education. The main purpose of this article is to deepen the understanding of the state of the art about violence grounded in sexual orientation or gender identity in higher education in order to identify gaps for further research. The topic of this state-of-the-art literature review is the presence and magnitude of these forms of violence in the Spanish higher education system. For this reason, the inclusion criteria were empirical studies about the prevalence of violence against LGBTIQ+ individuals in the Spanish educational system. After analyzing the 25 articles that met the inclusion criteria, the main findings point that despite the existence of numerous international studies of the presence of violence against LGBTIQ+ people at colleges, little is known about this reality in Spain. The Spanish university system continues to remain hermetic, and violence against LGBTIQ+ people is silenced and hidden. Practice, policy and research implications of the findings are discussed in this article, highlighting the need of further research in this field. In this context, the research project Uni4Freedom, addresses this social and educational problem to contribute to the creation of safer universities for the LGBTIQ+ community and people who support them.

针对 LGBT 群体的暴力可以以不同的形式表现出来，并存在于社会的各个领域，包括教育。本文的主要目的是加深对高等教育中基于性取向或性别认同的暴力的最新了解，以便找出进一步研究的差距。这篇最新文献综述的主题是西班牙高等教育系统中这些形式的暴力的存在和严重程度。因此，纳入标准是关于西班牙教育系统中针对 LGBTIQ+ 个体的暴力行为发生率的实证研究。在分析了 25 篇符合纳入标准的文章后，主要发现指出，尽管国际上有大量关于大学中存在针对 LGBTIQ+ 人群的暴力行为的研究，但人们对西班牙的这一现实知之甚少。西班牙大学系统继续保持封闭，针对 LGBTIQ+ 人群的暴力行为被压制和隐藏。本文讨论了研究结果的实践、政策和研究意义，强调了该领域进一步研究的必要性。在此背景下，Uni4Freedom 研究项目致力于解决这一社会和教育问题，为 LGBTIQ+ 群体及其支持者创建更安全的大学做出贡献。
