Remember, you are never to blame if something sexual happens to you without your consent - no matter the situation.

Sexual violence, including 'corrective' rape and other forms of sexual assault, can be used as an attempt to 'change', 'cure', or suppress LGBT+ people's identity. It can also be motivated by anti-LGBT+ hate or prejudice.

Everyone processes traumatic events differently, and there is no 'one way' to feel after experiencing abuse or violence.

For some people, these experiences can have a deep and lasting impact. Sometimes that impact can be felt soon after the experience, and sometimes it can be delayed.

We've loved going back to the past for LGBT+ History Month, but it's vital we also keep building a future where no LGBT+ person who experiences abuse and violence is left without access to support.
