Tactics Across Scale
• Dominant groups have long used the language of liberation to entrench their privilege and power. These techniques inevitably work to muddy the waters about who is actually facing discrimination or disparity in a given situation.
• Ignores known statistical data and research about who is disproportionately impacted.
• Undermines the experiences of marginalized communities and works to redefine oppression by framing dominant groups as its primary victims.

More widespread knowledge & use of terminology from the
field
Tendency to collapse a lot of experiences into domestic
violence.
Conflict Tactics Scale
Gender Symmetry
Use of checklists of abusive behaviors
“we wanted to increase our male survivor support
group, so we posted flyers asking if men felt emotionally abused by
their partner”
Collapsing of community-based advocacy and criminal legal system in response to DV.
Increase in ”victim defendants”

The good news is: We already have the skills, and tools we need to do this!
The less good news is…its difficult and we have to be diligent and savvy and persistent…

Understanding institutional inequality and oppression is essential to this work…from safety planning to systems
advocacy to making referrals.
racism, disproportionate impact of criminalization to people of color, sexism, poverty, ableism, immigration laws, transphobia and
all the intersections in between.
People who are abusive rely on inequality andsystems of oppression to establish and maintain abusive
control.

LGBTQ Abuse & Oppression
Oppression, at its core, is the systematic over-valuing of some people and simultaneous under-valuing of other people, based on their membership within particular social groups.
![Page 18: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LGBTQ Abuse & Oppression
We understand that abuse happens when one of us believes that we have more value than another person and creates a dynamic which, over time, gives us more access to resources, relationships and decision-making than the other person.
![Page 19: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Patriarchy
A system of institutional, cultural and individual beliefs and practices which establishes a binary gender system of two distinct genders (“man” and “woman”)…
within which men are given power and privilege at the expense of women, transgender and gender-non conforming folks.
![Page 20: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

“Interpersonal violence usually belies a whole host of social conditions that are hard to qualify and quantify (i.e. privilege, race, poverty, gender, oppression, resistance,
wealth, cultural norms, etc…).”~Crunk Feminist Collective

Each person within the pyramid(which is to say, all of us)
is capable of prejudice, abuse, and violence
{however}
Only individuals/groups with access to institutional and cultural power are able to back up their prejudices through policies, laws, and
norms.

How do we meaningfully
support survivors of all genders?
![Page 29: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
LGBTQ Institute’s Approach:
All programs are “All Genders”
Survivor Supports are “no people causing harm”.
Community Engagementactivities are open to all.
![Page 30: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We know:
“men” ≠ “batterers”“women” ≠ “survivors”“women’s space” ≠ “safe space”
Advocates cannot rely on gender or a checklist of behaviors to determine who is abusing power.
![Page 31: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Of people who have experienced rape, stalking, or physical violence by a partner: 83% of women and 35% of men reported significant impact.

“gender neutral” is not the answer.
The DV Movement needs a shared, robust gender analysis.
![Page 35: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
“Neutrality” is not the answer.
The DV Movement needs a
shared, robust analysis of oppression, systems of subordination, patterns of
power and control.
![Page 36: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
To say it plain:
Survivors need survivor supports.
(“abuser segregated” not “sex segregated”)

What is your current practice for determining eligibility for survivor supports?

The Assessment Tool…
There is no simple formula to determine who is abusing or who is surviving that abuse.
We do have a strong framework and intake process, rooted in an understanding of
oppression for discerning patterns of power, control and exploitation in relationships.
![Page 42: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Advocates use this approach to clarify the:
l Contextl Intentl Effect
of behaviors, agreements, and events in order to determine who is establishing a system of power and control in an abusive
relationship.
![Page 43: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Assessing for Coercive Control
Ensures you are serving all survivors, even if their behaviors
are complicated & that you have the information needed to direct people
who are abusive to intervention programs or other community
supports.
![Page 44: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
When people who batter have access to survivor services and advocacy, their control over their
partner INCREASES.

Understanding institutional inequality and oppression is essential to this work…from safety planning to systems
advocacy to making referrals.
People who are abusive rely on inequality andsystems of oppression to establish and maintain abusive
control.

How do we meaningfully
support survivors of all genders?
![Page 50: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What have you noticed as areas of advocacy in your work with gay, bi+, and trans men?
![Page 51: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Rich areas of advocacy:
• Understanding disparities & impacts of oppression in survivor’s life and in rebuilding from abuse
• Gender socialization & gender roles-redefining rigidness of masculinity and gender roles
• Equity in relationships
• Power and parenting
• Addressing entitlement when it comes up
• Trans parents & custody, parenting
• Disrupting notions of normalized use of violence in relationships/conflict
• Biphobia
• Femme-phobia
• Internalized oppression
• Skill building re: emotions
• Cost of Patriarchy and Toxic Masculinity
![Page 52: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Creating Structures for DifferenceExamples:
• Built Environment—You are welcome here!
• Let folks know what to expect in your advocacy and groups. Be clear & flexible.
• Share values, expectations, & negotiate in a fair and equitable manner
• Support group agreements focused on holding difference, normalizing conflict and setting expectation that racism, sexism, trans/phobia will be addressed.
• Support Group: Create intentional structure for welcoming folks into the group and saying goodbye when folks leave group. (Welcome Group, Good-bye Group)
![Page 55: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Plan for ConflictConflict is internal discord that occurs
because of a difference in ideas, values or
perceptions or in the interpretation of a
situation (Kelley, 2006).
Conflict is an inevitable part of all human
relationships.When we expect & plan for conflict, we are in a better
position to intervene earlier and put in place more effective
intervention strategies.
![Page 56: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Conflict in Support Group
• Conflict is not the same thing as abuse
• Group Agreements and Values Statements are displayed regularly as reminders
• Old Business as a regular agenda item
• Two Facilitators
• Model asking & being asked
![Page 57: National LGBTQ Institute on IPV](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051420/627e4e501d23e739390a6a16/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Stay conscious. Get skills.
Internalized sexism & sexism really complicates relationships.
Newsflash! So does racism. Classism. Transphobia. Heterosexism. Ableism. And so many forms of domination and control.
