Domestic Violence · Illinois · Free

Resources for trans and intersex survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Relevant for survivors with HIV+ status whose abuser threatens to disclose to employers, family, or immigration. Shelter access for LGBTQ+ survivors is available in most cities — call ahead to confirm welcoming policies. Protection orders work the same for LGBTQ+ relationships; civil court issues them regardless of marriage status. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
