It is important to understand who is affected by TFGBV abuse types, why they are targeted, and what resources they have available to them in order to understand which mitigation strategies to apply to different situations.
Here is a list of common targets of TFGBV.
An important note: Perpetrators may threaten people close to their ‘real’ target, rather than the target themself – for example, harassing or threatening to harass children to get at their parent. This includes family members who may have little idea what the ‘real’ target’s work entails.
For the purpose of introducing viewers to this space, relationships displayed between objects in this taxonomy (abuse types, perpetrator types, mitigation strategies, etc) represent the most common connections we've seen between them. In the real world, any object can relate to any other.
