Key messages: There has been an invisibility of LGBTIQ relationships in policy and practice responses and a lack of acknowledgement that intimate partner violence exists in these communities.

Beliefs that privilege heterosexual relationships affect victims' experiences as well as policy and practice responses.

Homophobia, transphobia and heterosexism affect the experience of, and responses to, intimate partner violence in LGBTIQ populations.

Service providers lack awareness and understanding of the LGBTIQ population and their experience of intimate partner violence. (From the website). Record #4925
