Today on National LGBTIQA+ Domestic Violence Awareness Day, we join the community to raise awareness about how family violence impacts LGBTIQA+ communities.⁣
⁣
LGBTIQA+ people can experience family violence from an intimate partner, and in their birth or chosen families.⁣
⁣
Due to shame and fear, this can make it difficult for victims to seek help, increasing their social isolation.⁣
⁣
As friends, colleagues, and allies, we can get a glimpse into what is really happening, and we can help.⁣
⁣
Recognising and understanding how family violence can present in LGBTQIA+ communities and creating safe spaces for victims to talk about it, can make a big difference to giving victims the confidence they need to seek support.⁣
⁣
In doing this, we also send a message to people who use family violence that they’re causing unacceptable harm.⁣
⁣
To help, we’ve created a new page on our website about the forms of family violence LGBTQIA+ people may experience. Head to our link in bio to check it out and find options for speciality support services 🔗⁣
⁣
In an emergency, always call Triple Zero (000).⁣
⁣
Our goal is for everyone to feel safe and respected in their relationships and feel confident to seek support.💜⁣
⁣
