LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Foundation
The LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Foundation was established with the purpose of promoting and protecting human rights by helping end domestic, family and intimate partner violence and abuse (DFV) within LGBTQ communities.
The organisation increases visibility through an annual awareness campaign and advocates for and supports the empowerment of LGBTQ victims and survivors.
2020 Pitch
Funds Raised: $52,800
As many as one in two LGBTQ people will be in a violent or abusive relationship sometime in their life. Founder Ben Bjarnesen pitched at TFN Virtual Rainbow for funding to help end domestic, family and intimate partner violence and abuse (DFV) within LGBTQ communities by building on an LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day campaign.
The Impact…
The funding has enabled them to expand their awareness campaign nationally and reach and influence a huge national audience, starting conversations, dialogue and education that was not previously possible.
For the 2021 awareness day campaign, they had 310 organisations involved across the world.
210 Organisations were from Australia.
100 Organisations were located around the world from 12 different countries.
