Domestic and family violence and intimate partner violence in LGBTQ relationships – A discussion on strengthening practice: Webinar resources and questions

This resource was developed as a companion piece to an ANROWS webinar relating to domestic and family violence (DFV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) in LGBTQ relationships. It will be useful to practise designers, practitioners and policymakers considering how to strengthen policy and practice in this area. 

The webinar, “Domestic and family violence and intimate partner violence in LGBTQ relationships – A discussion on strengthening practice”, held in June 2020, unpacked findings from the ANROWS project “Developing LGBTQ programs for perpetrators and victims/survivors of domestic and family violence”. The webinar brought together researchers and practitioners to discuss the unique experiences and service needs of LGBTQ people who experience DFV and IPV, including how the LGBTQ and DFV service sectors can strengthen referral pathways and practice and deliver appropriate DFV programs for LGBTQ communities.

The webinar generated many audience questions across topics such as data collection, working with non-binary people and queer Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC), and best practice for therapeutic interventions for perpetrators of DFV. As time answering these questions live-to-air was limited, this resource sets out panellists’ answers to the questions that could not be responded to on the day.
