Transgender victims’ and survivors’ experiences of domestic abuse

This briefing looks at the experiences of transgender domestic abuse victims and survivors in relation to the types of abuse they experience, the additional needs they have and the work done to support them by domestic abuse services.

There has been limited research on the experiences of people within the trans community and while some progress has been made through research on the experiences of the LGBT+ community as a whole, it is important to understand that different parts of this community can experience abuse in different ways.

This briefing uses data from our Insights national database. It concludes with recommendations for policy and practice.
