"Ben’s personal experience with DV profoundly impacted his perspective. Despite dealing with DV cases as a police officer, he did not initially recognise the abuse in his own same-sex relationship.
“There were no conversations about DV in LGBTQ+ communities,” he said.
“Research indicates that 60 per cent of LGBTQ+ people have experienced domestic violence, but only a tiny fraction report it.
“It wasn’t until I stumbled across a relationship checklist on an LGBTQ+ DV website and ticked nearly every box, that I finally realised what I was experiencing was DV.”
Lacking formal support systems, Ben relied on friends and family to escape the abusive relationship."
