he first nationally distributed and user-
friendly brochure for lesbian and bi
female victims of domestic violence soon will
he available.
This is being made possible by the award of
an $820 grant June 5 by the Portland General
Electric Foundation and the Open Meadow
Corps Restoring the Urban Environment Pro
gram. The funds will he used to design, write,
print, distribute and publicize the availability of
the brochure.
Are You or Someone You C are About a Female
Victim o f Female Intimate Partner Violence? is
being compiled by Stop Abuse for Everyone,
which distributes the only nationally available
brochure for male victims of domestic vio
lence. It will he dedicated to the memory of
Cornelius resident Carall Smith, 53, who was
shot to death by her female partner Nov. 17,
1995.
“T h e new brochure will enhance our
efforts to help all underserved victims of
domestic violence,” SA FE president Jade
Ruhick said. “We are very grateful to the Port
land General Electric Foundation and appre
ciate their support.”
Most research has shown that domestic
violence within lesbian relationships occurs
at a similar rate to that o f straight couples.
Even in studies that show a lower rate com
pared to heterosexuals, the amount of abuse is
significant, with 11 percent of same-sex
cohahitating women reporting being victim
ized by a female partner in their lifetime,
according to the National Violence Against
Women A ct Survey,
“Many lesbians are understandably reluc
tant to air issues related to lesbian battering
for fear of triggering homophobic attacks on
our communities,” editor Kerry Lobel wrote in
the book Naming the Violence: Speaking Out
About Lesbian Violence. “Yet, our only alterna
tive is one of silence, a silence that traps bat
tered lesbians into believing that they are
alone and that there are no resources available
to them.”
