Through our Anti-Violence Project (AVP), we help people who have experienced homophobic violence by providing support, taking reports and working with police. We also help make our community safer by promoting anti-homophobia initiatives in schools, running anti-homophobia education campaigns, lobbying relevant authorities on security issues, and working with police, government and community organisations on a range of violence prevention initiatives.

We also educate the GLBT and broader community about same-sex domestic violence (SSDV) and help mainstream services improve their knowledge of and response to SSDV.

Did you know?

• Gay men and lesbians in NSW are, respectively, 4 and 6 times more likely to be assaulted than the general population and 85% of gay men and lesbians have experienced homophobic abuse, harassment or assault
• Over one third of people in same-sex relationships experience domestic violence but only 30% seek help
