Creating safe and supportive environments for LGBTQIA+ communities is an integral part of sexual and intimate partner violence prevention and Health Equity.
In this session, guests from FORGE will discuss the connections between forms of violence, what they are doing to intervene against state-sanctioned transphobia and homophobia, and how advocates and preventionists can address internal and external structures to create safe environments for LGBTQIA+ communities.
OBJECTIVES:
-
Define the connection between anti-queer and transgender sentiments, policies, and practices and sexual and intimate partner violence.
-
Engage in a discussion about the anti-violence movement’s role in advancing LGBTQIA+ justice as part of the work to end sexual and intimate partner violence.
-
Explore opportunities and barriers for advocates and preventionists to institutionalize LGBTQIA+ justice as an internal value and programmatic practice.
HOSTS/ FACILITATORS: Ashleigh-Klein Jimenez & Janaé Sargent
