Unit 5.1 DB: Gender Violence

According to the unit resources violence is one of the biggest issues faced by women, feminine-perceived, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals.  Research and identify two forms of gender violence (examples include intimate partner violence, rape/sexual assault, child sex abuse, human trafficking) Share what you have found out. Next, research both national and local services are available for victims. What areas are lacking in services aimed at victims of your chosen forms of violence? Are there services aimed at diverse populations of people including those who may be coming from marginalized areas, have a distrust of governmental services, are in a same-sex relationship, are transgender, or do not fit the “standard” image of a victim?
