Supporting Trans* Survivors of Sexual Violence
Research project in 2014 into the experiences of trans* and non-binary survivors of sexual violence.
Currently, the vast majority of sexual violence support services are for either men or women only. This can lead to the exclusion of individuals who identify with gender identities or expressions that transgress or transcend the gender binarism of male and female, or who identify as trans.
