Suffolk police are joining forces with constabularies across the country to show their support for LGBT+ Domestic Abuse Awareness Day today.
The day aims to raise awareness of domestic abuse in the LGBT+ communities and encourage victims to come forward, delivering the messaged "there's no pride in domestic abuse".
Countries around the world are recognising similar days to highlight the issue, with this year's awareness day organised by PC Amy Tapping, co-chair of the National LGBT+ Police Network.`
PC Tapping was inspired by the inaugural awareness day organised by the LGTBQ Domestic Violence Awareness Foundation in Australia last year.
