The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a vital time to shed light on the diverse experiences of individuals impacted by violence, including those within the LGBTQ+ community. Research shows that lesbian, transgender, and queer women face similar risks of domestic and family violence as non-LGBTQ+ women.
During this campaign, we’re highlighting Say It Out Loud, an Australian initiative dedicated to promoting healthy relationships and supporting LGBTQ+ individuals experiencing or concerned about violence.
From educational resources to safety tools and a directory of support services, their website offers a wealth of information for both individuals and allies.
Visit https://sayitoutloud.org.au to explore these resources and learn how you can make a difference. Together, we can work toward ending violence in all its forms.
