We recognize that sexual violence and support services historically do not include the experiences of LGBTQIA individuals especially QTPoC.

 

Haven, as a center, believes that all oppression is connected and sexual violence is a symptom of oppression. We recognize that sexual violence and support services historically do not include the experiences of LGBTQIA individuals especially QTPOC. It is important to note that a person of any gender expression and/or sexual orientation can experience sexual violence. Sexual violence occurs within and outside of the LGBTQIA community. are often targeted due to their sexuality and/or perceived gender expression. This violence is used as a tool to maintain heteronormativity. In the context of this particular act, it is a hate crime and important to center in conversations about sexual violence. Haven serves as a confidential resource and staff here can walk you through your options. You have a right to report, seek out confidential resources, pursue medical attention, and/or go through the Prohibited Conduct Response Group (PCRG) free from homophobia, transphobia, and/or racial harassment.

Quick Facts

Intimate partner and sexual violence does not only happen in heterosexual relationships. Violence is about power and control -- not sexual or romantic desires. It is a myth that abuse only happens by the 鈥渂igger,鈥� 鈥渟tronger,鈥� 鈥渂utch,鈥� or more masculine partner. Women and femmes can be abusive and violent. As anyone can be a victim/survivor, anyone can be a perpetrator.

In a transphobic, homophobic and racist world, survivors or those who experience sexual violence distrust in support services, including the Equity Grievance Panel, campus safety, police, hospitals, and even peers and professors is a valid response, especially in a small rural community.

At Haven, we believe you. We understand that healing and justice do not look the same for everyone who experiences sexual and intimate partner violence.
