Larissa Waters Instagram – Today is LGBTIQA Domestic Violence Awareness Day.
As @batesforbrisbane says, family and intimate partner violence is a problem in queer communities as it is everywhere. One in two LGBTIQA people will experience some form of domestic violence in their life, including threats of outing.
Everyone deserves safe, nurturing families and intimate relationships.
Survivors of family and intimate partner violence must be #SeenAndBelieved, not have their pain dismissed as just another part of being a queer person.
If you need support, there are services supporting survivors across the country with specialist experience in dealing with LGBTIQA relationships.
You can reach @qlife_aus on 1800 184 527 and @1800respect_australia on 1800 737 732.
You can also find resources to help you or your community navigate domestic violence at @aconnsw Say It Out Loud, @switchboard_victoria and @lgbtq.dvafoundation’s website. | Posted on 28/May/2024 07:14:50
