Finding a Safe Place
This report into the experiences of sexual violence of the LGBT network is significant as the first of it's kind procuded in Ireland. The report provides a valuable insight into an under-reported aspect of LGBT life in Ireland.
Some of the key findings of the report:
- "Lesbian, gay and bi (LGB) survivors have higher levels of multiple incidents of sexual violence than heterosexual survivors.
- Gay and bi males had almost twice the levels of rape of heterosexual males – 63% compared with 34%.
- 47% of LGB survivors waited over 10 years to report the abuse, compared with 21% of heterosexual survivors
- LGBT survivors are less likely to rely on family and parents and instead rely much more on friends and partners.
- In the case of LGB survivors, 88% of the perpetrators of sexual violence were male (compared with 97% in heterosexual cases). 8% were males and females perpetrating together, and 4% were females alone or with other females.
- Of the lesbian and bi survivors who became pregnant, all terminated their pregnancy"
