Preferred term

same-sex intimate partner violence  

Definition

  • Domestic and sexual violence occurring in same-sex (two men or two women) couple relationships has increasingly been acknowledged in the last decade, but services continue to be limited. Most mainstream service agencies do not address same-sex partner violence in their outreach materials, and there continues to be a lack of trust on the part of abused survivors that they can call crisis lines and be treated with dignity.
