As we make our way through #DVAM2020, we remember that our work does not end until we dismantle white supremacy, until we meet the needs of Black and non-Black survivors of color, until we eradicate domestic violence and violence in all forms… If we all do just #1thing / #UnaCosa every day, we know that we can accomplish this goal. Together, we can end violence and support safe and healthy communities. 💜

Brick by Brick: The LGBTQ Advocacy Curriculum | NWLC

For far too long, the histories, experiences, and identities of LGBTQ people of color have not been centered in our schools, in our communities, or in our history books. Brick by Brick is changing that by creating a curriculum that’s adaptable to any virtual or in-person environment (classroom, GSA club, or anything else!). During this Pride Month, we released Brick by Brick: Building LGBTQ Advocacy that speaks to the experiences and identities for students of color. This advocacy curriculum is the first-of-its-kind project designed to build and inspire current and future advocates and activists.

LGBTQ IPV - Futures Without Violence

Because queer and trans people experience violence at similar, and in some instances higher, rates as heterosexual people, it is critical that health care and other providers ensure that their practice is culturally inclusive for queer and trans people and that they are talking to all of their patients about the effects that intimate partner violence can have on health.

LGBTQ Abuse | The National Domestic Violence Hotline

Abusive partners in LGBTQ relationships use all the same tactics to gain power and control as abusive partners in heterosexual relationships — physical, sexual or emotional abuse, financial control, isolation and more.

But abusive partners in LGBTQ relationships also reinforce their tactics that maintain power and control with societal factors that compound the complexity a survivor faces in leaving or getting safe in an LGBTQ relationship.
