MSW programs w/an emphasis in Gender, Sexual Violence, or Trauma?

I'm a prospective MSW applicant (applying Fall 2017 for Fall 2018) and would like to reach out to those of you who have already done extensive research on MSW programs. I am primarily interested in working with women, LGBT populations, and those affected by sexual assault and/or sexual/domestic violence. I would like to do research in gender, sexuality, and trauma.

Which MSW programs have a strong curriculum in these issues or even offer specific concentrations in violence, gender, or trauma? Where should I look?

Thank you!

I am at McGill and will be taking the MSW - Graduate Option in Gender and Women's studies to touch upon some of the topics you've listed.

Pitt has a certificate for MSW students through the gender, sexuality, & women's studies program

I think a big thing would also be where you do your field placement.  Pittsburgh has PAAR (Pittsburgh action against rape), the center for victims, and several women's shelters - msw students are placed in all of these settings.  I'm sure most cities have similar programs.
