What is violence against lesbians*?
Violence against lesbians* affects many FLINTA* people.
It targets a person’s supposed sexuality and gender.
Violence against lesbians* can happen in many ways.
Examples are:
- a gesture
- a lesbophobic comment
- an insult
- being spat at or spat in front of
- pushing
- sexual comments

Lesbophobia and queerphobia can also look different.
They can make people feel afraid.
People who are affected can feel angry or unsure.
Everyone reacts in their own way.
When we talk about violence, we mean:
- psychological violence
- physical violence
- sexual violence
- economic violence
- digital violence
We give advice in crisis situations.
We help after a specific incident.
We support people who experienced violence a long time ago.
We offer help if you want to protect yourself from violence.
We help with discrimination in everyday life.
We support people who experience violence in lesbian*-queer relationships.
Some people blame themselves.
We say: it is never the fault of the person who is affected.
It is not their fault that they experience violence.
In reality, not only lesbians* are affected by violence against lesbians*.
L-SUPPORT supports all people who experience violence against lesbians*.
This can also be people who do not identify as lesbians*.
This happens because others see them as lesbians*.
These people also experience discrimination and violence.

Violence against lesbians* is invisible.
Violence against lesbians* and FLINTA* is seen as normal.
FLINTA* means women, lesbians*, intersex, trans*, non-binary, and agender people.
Many people are spat at or insulted.
They experience violence in physical, psychological, or emotional ways.
This happens because they are seen as lesbian*, bi+, or queer people.
Violence against lesbians* and bi+ people is rarely talked about in society.
There is little research about it.
Over 90 percent of these violent acts are never discovered.
In Berlin, there are about 10 to 20 police reports each year.
These reports are from FLINTA* who have experienced violence against lesbians* or queer people.
Few people talk about their experiences.
That is why violence against lesbians* is often invisible.
FLINTA* are not often included in public discussions.
Fewer resources are given to fight lesbophobia.
Many people affected are afraid to talk about what happened to them.
They fear not being taken seriously.
