Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose an enhanced policy for Monash University’s HR department to address gender and family violence among LGBTIQ communities. The paper highlights the significance of recognizing power dynamics within gender frameworks and acknowledging the abuse that the LGBTIQ community faces. The objectives of the paper include evaluating the increase in gender and family violence rates within Monash University’s LGBTIQ communities, providing a secure and safe space for victims of gender and family violence to express their feelings and experiences, and reviewing existing support programs to prevent sexual violence. Additionally, the paper discusses the history of the issue, including the CDC’s 2010 national study, which found that the LGBTIQ community faced a higher rate of violence than heterosexual individuals. Furthermore, the paper examines critical family violence concerns, such as the adverse impact of family violence on LGBTIQ communities, including homelessness in some cases. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding that this violence is primarily physical, sexual, and emotional in nature and recognizing the significance of empathizing with victims.
