Note: In an effort to disrupt the idea that only men perpetrate abuse, the pronouns used on this web site and in our literature that refer to perpetrators are predominantly female. Feel free to imagine the information using varied gender pronouns, such as he, ze or s/he.

ABOUT US:
The Northwest Network increases our communities' ability to support the self-determination and safety of bisexual, transgendered, lesbian, and gay survivors of abuse through education, organizing and advocacy. We work within a broad liberation movement dedicated to social and economic justice, equality and respect for all people and the creation of loving, inclusive and accountable communities.
We provide support and advocacy for LBGT folks of all genders who are surviving abuse. We are leather and kink friendly.
Our services are free and confidential. They include support groups, individual counseling, legal advocacy, shelter referrals, safety planning, basic needs assistance, community education and community organizing.
Using the links on this page, please browse through our site, where you will find helpful information about surviving abuse and dating violence, our organization, mission and services, and referrals to other resources.

IN THE COMMUNITY:
Because we recognize the critical importance of being grounded within our constituent communities, we participat e in community events, activities and discussions on a variety of topics and issues. We assist in creating sites for community based on shared values of respect, personal agency, accountability, safety and celebration. Whether we're at a drag king show or a city council meeting, we weave education about domestic violence, support services, anti-oppression, and safety planning through all our interactions. We have materials in multiple formats and distribute information from as many and as varied locations as possible.
Check out the "What's New" section of this web site to find out what projects we're currently working on.
