The right to live a life free from violence and abuse is a person’s most basic human right, but for many LGBTQ people, this is not a reality. 1 in 2 LGBTQ people will experience domestic, family, and intimate partner violence and abuse (DV) in their lifetime, yet victims remain largely invisible with incredibly low levels of reporting. With LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day right around the corner (May 28th), join Injury Matters with guest presenter from LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Foundation to learn more about LGBTQ specific domestic violence impact on overall health and injury, and how we as health professionals can help address barriers and provide support to victims when needed.
