Creating safe and supportive environments for LGBTQIA+ communities is an integral part of sexual and intimate partner violence prevention and Health Equity. According to the Centers for Disease Control, LGBTQIA+ youth experience higher rates of sexual and dating violence than their cisgender and heterosexual peers. Additionally, homophobic bullying at a young age has been linked to sexual and intimate partner violence prevention at a later age. 

As communities grapple with record-setting anti-trans and anti-queer sentiments, policies, and practices across the country, the stakes have never been higher for advocates and preventionists to create protective environments for LGBTQIA+ people.

Join PreventConnect and dedicated LGBTQIA+ advocates and activists for a web conference dedicated to uplifting trans joy and inclusion as a value and a practice in ending sexual and intimate partner violence. 

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

SPEAKERS: Emil Rudicell, FORGE
