This October, we join organisations across the UK and beyond in marking Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. It’s a time to shine a light on an issue that is often hidden, yet affects people in every community.
Domestic abuse isn’t just physical – it can be emotional, financial, or controlling behaviour. For LGBTQ+ people, there can be extra barriers to speaking out or finding support, which is why raising awareness is so important.
At LEVEL, we’re committed to breaking the silence around domestic abuse in LGBTQ+ relationships. By talking openly, challenging stigma, and making support more visible, we can help ensure that no one faces abuse alone.
Throughout October, we’ll be sharing information to raise awareness and signpost where help is available.
