ABSTRACT

Homosexuality in a university environment is treated differently depending on the social environment in which it is the subject of reflection. The existence of homosexual practices and its extent at the National Institute of Youth and Sports (INJS) in Abidjan were the subject of a study with the aim of knowing what students think of this phenomenon. A sample of size 982 was chosen randomly from 9320 students, with a sex ratio of 1.91, an average age of 25.88 years (Standard deviation = 4.38), the extremes ranging from 18 years to 34 years. A questionnaire made it possible to collect data on their knowledge of homosexuality, the existence of the phenomenon and its extent within the institution. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data made it possible to prove that students have a good understanding of homosexuality, and its practice exists within this institution. The present study concluded that homosexual students represent between 01.42% and 08.13% of the population of 9320 students in 2024.

Keywords. Homosexuality, sexual orientation, academia, INJS of Abidjan.
