SHAME IS MAN-MADE

It is a proven fact that individuals in the LGBTQ+ community are at a higher risk of experiencing some form of domestic violence. What is even more saddening is that they are the least likely to report it, and even when they do, it is often not taken seriously.

No matter how you identify, abuse has no place in a relationship. Just because your partner may be of the same gender, that does not make it okay to be violent. This is a significant issue in the lesbian community, especially among African Americans, and Vagina Based Collective is taking a stand against it.

No one is perfect. Problems, disagreements, and frustrations are a natural part of a relationship. When individuals with different personalities, communication styles, and triggers come together, conflict can be inevitable; that is a part of life, no matter how compatible they may seem.

It is of the utmost importance that we all take the time to learn about healthy communication, healthy de-escalation tactics, and how to recognize triggers and trauma.

If you are experiencing any form of domestic violence, know that it is not your fault and you do not deserve it. Click the button below for resources or email us at vaginabasedcollective@gmail.com, and we can assist you in getting the help that you need.
