Out on the Shelves: research and resources on addressing violence in Rainbow communities

It is a chance for libraries to promote and build our Rainbow collections.

Out on the Shelves has run its campaign week for the second time in 2019. Out on the Shelves is run by InsideOUT, a national charity supporting young people of minority sexualities, genders and sex characteristics in Aotearoa New Zealand.

As the Clearinghouse is a library, we have taken the opportunity to highlight some research and resources on addressing violence against Takatāpui/Rainbow/LGBTTIQA+ communities. We hope you will find these useful in your work.
