Primary Prevention of Violence Experienced by LGBTIQ+ People: A Primer for Response Workers
2:10 PM - 2:40 PMAbstract
In recent years there has been growing recognition of LGBTIQ+ people’s experience family, domestic and sexual violence, and the need for strong efforts to prevent and respond to this violence.
This has led to increasing understanding of the shared drivers of this violence as well as men’s violence against women.
We will provide an overview of Rainbow Health Australia’s work in primary prevention of LGBTIQ family violence, and how it applies to those working in frontline service delivery.
This session will share the learnings of Rainbow Health Australia’s suite of Pride in Prevention guides, including the drivers of family violence experienced by LGBTIQ communities and priority interventions to address it. Pride in Prevention explores the shared drivers of violence against women and violence against LGBTIQ people – rigid gender roles, cisnormativity and heteronormativity.
We will explore topics including:
- How heteronormativity drives violence for LGBTIQ people and non LGBTIQ people
- Where inclusion and primary prevention do and don’t overlap
- How response workers can contribute to primary prevention efforts
- Why we can't do LGBTIQ primary prevention without the PVAW sector (and vice versa!)
Key Learnings:
1. Enhance understanding of primary prevention and the shared drivers of violence against women (cisgender, heterosexual) and violence against LGBTIQ people.
2. Deepen understanding of how response workers can contribute to LGBTIQ primary prevention.
3. Identify opportunities for cross-sector mutual reinforcement and collaboration between FV and LGBTIQ sectors.
