Fenway Health’s Violence Recovery Program continues to support people who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, and anti-LGBTQIA+ discrimination. Our counselors and advocates continue to provide counseling, safety planning, and other assistance by phone and/or video call.
As COVID-19 has confined people to their homes and left many isolated from support networks, people may be more vulnerable to sexual violence and other forms of abuse. LGBTQIA+ folks often experience sexual violence at higher rates and those with other marginalized identities may be more vulnerable.
- 47% of transgender people are sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime.
- Approximately 1 in 8 lesbian women and almost half of bisexual women experience rape in their lifetime, which does not include various other forms of sexual violence and harassment.
- Nearly half of bisexual men and four in ten gay men have experienced sexual violence other than rape in their lifetime.
