Battered Women's Justice Project

Domestic Violence · Iowa · Free

Working with criminal and civil court systems on domestic violence response. Useful for survivors whose abuser uses outing, dead-naming, or family-rejection threats as control tactics. Most LGBTQ+ DV programs offer free legal help with protection orders, housing transitions, and custody. Same-sex IPV often gets mis-categorized as 'mutual combat' by police unfamiliar with abuse dynamics; LGBTQ+-trained responders fix this. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
