FORGE — Trans IPV/Sexual Violence

Domestic Violence · Connecticut · Free

National organization supporting trans, gender non-conforming, and non-binary survivors of violence. Worth contacting if a provider refused you DV services because the abuser was the same gender. Crisis lines are 24/7, free, confidential — counselors are trained on LGBTQ+ IPV specifically. LGBTQ+ IPV rates equal or exceed straight rates — but only ~30% of survivors access mainstream services because of past discrimination. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
