INDIANAPOLIS — It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we’re shining a light on domestic violence and the impact it can have on anyone. It's something one in three women and one in seven men will experience — including those in the LGBTQ+ community.'I never thought I would really be impacted.” said 23-year-old Tyre’k Swanigan.For the first time Thursday, he shared his story publicly with his mom next to him.Both are domestic violence survivors.
“It’s not because someone is LGBTQ+ as to why they’re experiencing higher rates of violence. I think it really comes down to barriers in education,” said Ash Rathwell. “Often times when this issue is talked about members of this community are left out of the conversation.”Rathwell is an Adult Program Manager at Domestic Violence Prevention Network.She provides resources to the community to help prevent abuse, especially in marginalized communities.
