This Center's Anti-Violence Project was established to address the impact of domestic abuse, sexual assault and hate crimes on LGBT people by:
- Educating service providers on the unique needs and concerns of LGBT people.
- Educating and raising awareness within LGBT communities
- Connecting victims with appropriate services.
These pages on the Center's website were created and are regularly updated to help LGBT people understand the dynamics of domestic abuse, sexual assault and hate crimes and locate appropriate resources.
It is our hope that, as individuals and communities, LGBT people will learn to recognize, acknowledge and respond to violence and provide support to victims.
Victim and Survivor Advocacy and Services
The Anti-Violence Project (AVP) offers confidential victim advocacy for LGBT victims of all types of crime and incidents of violence. The Program Coordinator II-Victim Outreach/Advocate works with a network of service providers in the Milwaukee area to assist LGBT victims of violence in accessing services and resources in a safe and understanding manner. Navigating systems such as law enforcement agencies, the District Attorney’s office, and medical services can be challenging. We are here to help! We support anyone who has experienced violence, harassment, bullying, or a violent crime.
The AVP also provides outreach to LGBT community members, groups, and individuals as well as mainstream organizations and service providers seeking education and information about how violence affects LGBT individuals.
Those who are interested in learning more and becoming better equipped to provide safe services to LGBT individuals can contact the AVP for training opportunities and presentations.
The AVP has a volunteer component that conducts outreach to LGBT communities. Come join the AVP Outreach Volunteer Team! Learn how you can help to prevent violence in your community.
