LGBTQ DV Targeted Recommendation: Ensure Family-Provider Wages and Benefits in order to Recruit and Retain Qualified Staff Members from Diverse LGBTQ Communities

This targeted recommendation advocates for domestic violence and anti-violence non-profits to address the lack of LGBTQ staff by ensuring family-provider wages for all employees. This recommendation seeks to address the socio-economic challenges faced by LGBTQ people as a result of systemic homophobia and transphobia, and can become barriers to LGBTQ people seeking and retaining employment in non-profits that do not compensate them adequately.
