Summary
The aim of this paper is to understand the current reality of Penitentiary Institutions in Spain, as well as to know the relevance of the Social Work profession in the penitentiary context; since, as we will see, the figure of the Social Worker is essential in a process such as serving a sentence. It starts with a journey through the Penitentiary Institutions, its origin and evolution, an approach to legislation and finally an approach to Prison Social Work, emphasizing the functions and the relevance of the profession in this field. The information provided is intended to place the reader before a reality that is sometimes ignored and often made invisible because it is one of the groups of the population that have the most difficult social reintegration due to the prejudices to which they are exposed. A quantitative research is proposed through the application of a self-administered questionnaire addressed to the inmate population of the Penitentiary Center of Bonxe in order to know the perception that the inmates have about the Penitentiary Institutions, the functioning of the same and those aspects that concern it, under the lens of Social Work.

Summary
Child sexual violence is a problem that affects children and adolescents around the world, generating physical, psychological and social consequences for minors that can last throughout their lives. In this context, sexual education is proposed as an essential tool for the protection and prevention of this type of violence, in a context where minors must develop in an integral way. The main objective of the study is to analyze the perception of the educational community on sexual education and its role in the prevention of child sexual violence from the perspective of educational Social Work, empowering and protecting minors. For this reason, a qualitative research project is carried out, through interviews with people who are part of the educational community, to bring the project closer to the current reality of minors. A duration of 12 months is proposed to carry out the research, to later be disseminated in magazines and social networks.
