Love Is Not Abusive
Domestic abuse within the LGBTQIA+ community is a serious issue, and we believe that more people need to talk about it. If you are in an abusive relationship, help is available.
Campaign Overview
Domestic abuse affects at least 11% of the LGBTQ+ community, but we expect the number to be much higher. There is a significant lack of research into the prevalence of domestic abuse within the community, with the most recent statistics being from seven years ago. These are those statistics:
-
1 in 2 trans people
-
1 in 4 lesbian people
-
1 in 3 bisexual people
-
1 in 4 gay people
-
11% of LGBTQ+ people overall
This increases to 17% of black, Asian and minority ethnic LGBTQ+ people. This is a significant issue. There are huge funding constraints, and there is very little dialogue.
