Community Action Toolkit for Addressing Intimate Partner Violence against Transgender People | The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs works to prevent and respond to all forms of violence against and within LGBTQ and HIV-affected communities. Intimate partner violence (IVP) affects many LGBTQ and HIV-affected people, but it is not a high priority in the LGBTQ movement. This toolkit was designed to provide our communities with strategies to create dialogue on transgender intimate partner violence, ways to support survivors, and identify resources for intimate partner violence. There’s also an action toolkit specific for people of color.
