摘要

Numerous studies have highlighted the profound impacts of violence and discrimination on the LGBTQ+ community, leading to psychosocial stress, isolation, and heightened instances of self-harm. Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed (TO), a community-based intervention, has emerged as a promising approach utilized globally with marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ+ youth population, to foster critical consciousness, amplify marginalized voices, and promote social change. This scoping review aims to explore how TO has been applied as an intervention to address stigma and violence against LGBTQ+ youth. Guided by the PRISMA-ScR framework, seven peer-reviewed articles were identified through a systematic search across SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, and ERIC databases. The review identifies TO’s contributions to increasing empathy, encouraging dialogue, and enhancing bystander intervention skills. Despite a noted absence of longitudinal designs or validated measures to assess sustained outcomes, this review emphasizes the potential of TO as a mezzo-level strategy in combatting discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ youth.
