Our recent panel, held on 5 December 22, was a triumph. It brought together some of the leading voices in the LGBTQ+ homelessness and domestic abuse spheres in the UK.
The panel topic was: “Through the Queer Lens”: What does Domestic Abuse look like in the LGBTQ+ community, and what more can be done to support survivors?
Sponsored by LGBT+ @Sky, hosted by Stonewall Housing, and held in Google’s Tottenham Court Road office, this panel explored issues including:
- how Domestic Abuse can look different in LGBTQ+ communities compared to non-LGBTQ+ communities
- why it’s so important that we raise awareness and increase visibility of domestic, family and intimate partner violence in the LGBTQ+ community
- what more should be done to support LGBTQ+ people in the UK who are experiencing Domestic Abuse
- why support around resettlement is so important when it comes to supporting Domestic Abuse survivors (including how services like Stonewall Housing’s DARS makes an impact)
