LGBTQ+ Violence
LGBTQ+ violence refers to acts of aggression or harm directed at individuals based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. This violence can take many forms, including physical assault, verbal harassment, and discrimination. It often stems from societal prejudice and can occur in various settings, such as homes, workplaces, and public spaces.
The impact of LGBTQ+ violence extends beyond physical harm, affecting mental health and overall well-being. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and a sense of isolation. Organizations and advocacy groups work to raise awareness and promote safety for the LGBTQ+ community, aiming to reduce violence and foster acceptance.
