Title
"Abuse in the closet: Violence in lesbian relationships"
Description
Article on the need to recognize intimate partner violence (IPV) in lesbian relationships and the stigma of talking about IPV in lesbian communities. The author argues that this issue is not often taken seriously and that there are limited supports for lesbians. She offers suggestions for resources and building community related to the issue, including incorporating the issue into the Take Back the Night march in St. John's that year.
