Greater Manchester Police invited members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities to join them and partners for a panel discussion on domestic abuse.
The event on Monday 18 August was held in the run up to Pride. It was supported by Victim Support, the Women’s Domestic Abuse Helpline, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner and the Lesbian and Gay Foundation. It was an opportunity for those who may be concerned about domestic abuse to come along and ask any questions they may have on the issue or even just listen to what the panel will have to say.
Greater Manchester Police Detective Chief Superintendent Vanessa Jardine, said: “We know that domestic abuse will be occurring within the LGBT community. We want to encourage victims and friends and family of victims to report the issue and have the confidence to come forward.
“There will be many people who are not aware of the processes in place once a crime is reported to police and by having this open forum I want to be able to dispel some myths and give people the confidence to report crimes in the knowledge that it will be dealt with appropriately.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “The sad reality is that domestic violence affects our communities, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities.
“It’s really important that police and other agencies understand the sensitivities and concerns of different communities and the barriers that exist which prevent people from coming forward. By working with organisations like the Lesbian and Gay Foundation we can help build confidence which is why I warmly welcome this event.
“The most important message is that it doesn’t matter who you are – gay or straight, male or female, young or old, rich or poor – support is out there if you are suffering domestic abuse.”
Lucy Rolfe, wellbeing manager for the Lesbian and Gay Foundation, said: “Having supported a number of LGB&T people who are experiencing domestic abuse, I've been shocked by the number of barriers they face in accessing the support they need.
“Domestic abuse is an issue surrounded by gender stereotypes; every poster or campaign portrays a female victim and a male perpetrator. This only adds to the fear held by many LGB&T people, that if they speak up, they won't be believed or taken seriously. If we are to tackle LGB&T domestic abuse, then we need to start by working together to stamp out this stigma, by considering our attitudes and language, only then will we be able to encourage people to speak up."
Cllr Bernard Priest, Manchester City Council’s deputy leader, said: “Domestic abuse can take many forms, from controlling behaviour to violence, and can affect members of all our communities. However, it is always unacceptable and in many cases the real tragedy is the number of people who don't report the abuse, either because they're afraid or because they don't believe anyone will take their complaint seriously.
“I want urge anyone who has been a victim of domestic abuse, regardless of their gender, race or sexual orientation, to come forward. I would like to invite all members of the LGBT community to come to this event, take part in the discussion and find out more about the services that are available.”

A helpline uses Snapchat to let teens talk about abuse
Heard of Snapchat, right? The fun messaging app that lets you share videos, pictures, and doodles with friends for up to 10 seconds? Well, it’s being put to deadly serious use in India.
Snap Counsellors, an account on the messaging app, is helping teens speak up about relationship abuse.
It was launched by three Indians last week. “We already have an average of eight people reaching out to us everyday. There are almost 200 people watching the stories we are broadcasting on Snapchat,” says Rajshekar Patil, the ad guy whose brainchild it is.
Raj is based in Mumbai and works with Apple’s global creative agency, TBWA\Media Arts Lab. He joined hands with Avani Parekh and Nida Sheriff to create the Snapchat account.
The helpline hopes to tackle a widespread yet under-reported problem.
Relationship abuse or intimate partner abuse is common among Indian teens. But victims are scared to talk about it or message someone because partners often take the phone and email passwords to check on them.
And that’s why Snapchat’s self-destruct feature makes it ideal for a helpline. All messages get deleted within 10 seconds.
Raj got the idea when someone introduced him to the app. In advertising, he saw brands trying to jump on to Snapchat all the time.
“I was amazed by how quickly the app had caught on with youngsters and how they had their own space here,” he tells Tech in Asia. It was also non-intrusive.
Plus, he’d heard several stories of relationship abuse from friends, which never really went anywhere. So, why not take the opportunity to create social innovation?
He contacted Avani Parekh, a trained counsellor, who had been running a free website, www.lovedoctor.in, and Whatsapp service LoveDoctor. Nida, who runs Chayn India, joined in.
“We realised that privacy and secrecy are super important for those in abusive relationships, especially for teens and young people,” says Nida.
Their Snapchat account addresses this need.
It also allows the Stories feature to be used to send out images and videos to encourage victims to come forward. For example, one of them says, “Snoop on my heart, not my phone,” and another says, “Harsh words hurt as much as a hard fist.”
“We can send out a series of pics and videos – of 10 seconds each – that can be viewed by our followers for a 24-hour period, and then gets deleted,” explains Raj.
The Snap Counsellors account can be added using the id lovedoctordotin.
