Intimate Partner Violence can happen to anyone. Throughout this month we will be exploring how IPV impacts different communities. Today we will be centering the Transgender community.
Transgender is a gender identity that indicates someone does not identify with the gender they were assigned, usually at birth. Trans is sometimes used as a short for Transgender.
Trans individuals are at an increased risk for domestic violence. They also experience barriers to service from first responders and sometimes advocacy organizations. Transgender and nonbinary people are often asked inappropriate and invasive questions about their bodies and are misgendered by individuals intending to help.
First responders and support staff should receive continuing education about and from the transgender community to be sure that services are appropriate and available.
AARC is proud to offer support and services to the Transgender community. For more information and resources on intimate partner violence, please see the resources below.
