[TW: Discussion of sexual violence, false allegations]
During some of our prevention workshops there have been a number of myths and misconceptions around relationships, sex and sexual violence. For this reason, on the first Monday of each month we will be debunking some of the common myths around sexual violence. [We have scheduled these on the 1st Monday of each Month so that any survivors following us know to avoid them if they don't want to read them. If they do bring anything up, the STAR centre is always here for support.]

At the STAR centre, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive space for all survivors of sexual violence, regardless of gender identity or expression. We recognise the unique challenges that trans and gender diverse individuals may face, and we are dedicated to offering inclusive and affirming services to meet their needs.

On this day of trans+ visibility, we want to remind all survivors that you are not alone. We see you, we hear you, and we will support you. Our team of highly trained professionals is here to offer confidential support, advocacy, and resources.

If you are a survivor of sexual violence and identify as trans or gender diverse, please know that you are welcome at the STAR centre. Your experiences are valid, and your well-being is our top priority. You deserve to be heard, believed, and supported.
