Broken Rainbow

Information and advice for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender (LBGT) people experiencing domestic abuse

Broken Rainbow LGBT Domestic Violence (UK) was started in 2002 and became a registered charity in 2004.

Their objective is to relieve the distress and suffering caused by domestic violence and abuse to LGBT people by:

• raising awareness in the LGBT community and elsewhere of the impact of homophobic, transphobic and same sex domestic violence on the lives of LGBT people
• offering advice, support and referral services to LGBT people experiencing homophobic, transphobic and same sex domestic violence
• offering information, advice and training to people who are responsible for domestic violence policy and practice in mainstream and specialist organisations, or who are otherwise involved with the survivors and perpetrators of those suffering from domestic violence, with a view to increasing the physical safety and mental well-being of LGBT people who experience such violence or abuse

Broken Rainbow runs two helplines: 0300 999 LGBT (5428) and 08452 60 44 60, open Monday and Thursday 2pm to 8pm, and on Wednesday 10am to 1pm. For further information please visit the Broken Rainbow website and the Broken Rainbow's blog.
