About this listen

 We've recently seen a wave of targeted attacks where perpetrators used fake profiles to lure people before ambushing them with robbery, assault, and homophobic abuse. In response, Switchboard Victoria has launched a new dedicated helpline via the Rainbow Door service (details below) to support LGBTIQA+ people who’ve experienced violence linked to dating and meet-up apps. It’s a serious issue, and in this episode Jack and Cal speak about the helpline and the support it offers with Switchboard CEO, Jenna Tuke.
