Ending abuse in lesbian, bisexual women's and
transgender communities.
"The Network/La Red was formed to address battering in
lesbian, bisexual women's, and transgender communities.
Through a) the formation of a community-based multi-cultural
organization in which battered/formerly battered lesbians,
bisexual women, and transgender folks hold leadership roles;
b) community organizing, education, and the provision of
support services; and c) coalition-building with other
movements for social change and social justice, we seek to
create a culture in which domination, coercion, and control
are no longer accepted and operative social
norms."

"Our
members are a diverse group of women of varying ages,
backgrounds, locations, occupations, sexual orientations,
family status, etc. What all our members have in common is the
experience of having been sexually abused by their mother and
the courage and fortitude to come share with and support other
women on the same healing journey."

"Why
don't we hear more about this?
Because many
people define rape as penetration by a penis, woman to woman
rape is not acknowledged or is not taken seriously. But in
fact, it is estimated that 1 out of 3 lesbians have been
sexually assaulted by another woman."

Woman-to-woman Sexual
Violence | "Although
Professor Lori B. Girshick hasn’t yet concluded her study of
woman-to-woman sexual abuse, what she has found so far
confirms that this kind of abuse is real and that it needs to
be addressed. Unfortunately, a lot of people are reluctant to
admit there’s a problem. Many more are just not
interested."

Facts
about lesbian rape.
"An
initial inquiry into the common reactions of the lesbian
violence victim, as distinguished from the straight female
victim or the gay man.
It is intended as an initial
discussion of issues which may be present
in and specific
to the lives of lesbians in general, and the
lesbian
violence victim in particular."

Stop Abuse For Everyone
(SAFE) provides unique services for domestic violence victims.
We look for those who typically fall between the cracks, and
are receiving the least amount of help -- people for whom few
services are available. Our approach is to view domestic
violence as a human issue. We often say it this way, "it does
matter what type of person you are, if you're in an abusive
relationship, it is the type of experience you're having that
is important. The services you receive should be based on what
you need, rather than who you are." That is the goal we work
towards.
However, there are also problems that individuals
face based on the fact that they are men or women, gay or
straight, old or young. SAFE addresses their individual
concerns, and fills in the gaps in domestic violence services.
