ANTI-VIOLENCE
Outreach and support for people within the LGBT or Disability Community who have been subjected to abuse whether it is from a partner, family member, medical professional, or general public as well as
working with other agencies in violence prevention.
Abusers use a wide variety of abusive tactics. Physical abuse is the type that is in most people’s minds but there are four other general categories of abusive tactics:
- Physical Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- Emotional Abuse
- Financial Abuse
- Identity Abuse
The categories are not exclusive – some abusive tactics may fit into more than one category. A threat of physical harm, for example, could be seen as emotional abuse and as physical abuse.
