Preventing Violence Against Rainbow People: A Panel Discussion
Rainbow experiences of violence
Rainbow communities face unique challenges that are important to understand when providing support. Often support and violence prevention programs are framed with a hetero/cis-normative lens. This can unfortunately mean that prejudice towards rainbow communities, or erasure of rainbow experiences can go unchecked. Below are a list of self-assessment tools, online courses, posters and reading to assist you and your organisation in your journey towards rainbow competency. Stopping violence towards rainbow people starts with understanding.
