Resources to Transform Access for LGBTQ+ Sexual Assault Survivors
Tips for Strengthening LGBTQ+ Sexual Assault Survivors’ Access to Services in Oregon

The tips are based on feedback from LGBTQ+ survivors about what they’d like from service providers, as well as feedback from victim service providers about the tools they lack. We’ve included a resource list to help providers further their learning and identify additional tools to improve services to LGBTQ+ sexual assault survivors.
