NCAVP produces two annual national reports on LGBTQ Hate Violence and LGBTQ Intimate Partner Violence, the only national reports of their kind. Click here for the most recent report release; the 2015 NCAVP Hate Violence Report.

NCAVP uses these reports to document and raise awareness of the prevalence of this violence, advocate for policy and funding changes that will increase resources to address LGBTQ violence, and recommend strategies to prevent, respond to, and end this violence.

 
Your Story/Your Call - You have a right to VAWA-funded Services

If you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) and have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault (including dating violence or stalking) you have the right to receive support and services such as shelter, support groups and hotline counseling.

 

The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs creates guides and toolkits which contain helpful yet practical ways you and your community can address intimate partner violence and hate violence generally and specifically for transgender and people-of-color survivors.
