As AVP writes, "Offenders who were ex-lovers, partners or spouses increased 44%; relatives increased 25%; service providers 32%; acquaintances and friends 34%; and those who were employers or coworkers increased 13%."
The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) is a not-for-profit, voluntary network of 26 community-based victim service organizations that monitor and respond to bias-motivated and other forms of violence affecting LGTB communities. This is their seventh national report.
