Denmark to Launch LGBT+ Assault Counseling After Clinic Data

Aids-Fondet will open a specialized counseling service for LGBT+ individuals in Denmark.

The service targets people who experienced sexual assault or boundary violations.

It will begin in 2027 through Danish public funding.

The service offers in-person meetings in Copenhagen and online care across Denmark.

Data from Aids-Fondet shows one in three clinic visitors reported sexual violations.

The organization welcomes around 12,000 visitors yearly at its Checkpoint clinics.

About 33 percent reported boundary violations on self-registration forms.

Thomas Hübertz leads prevention and counseling at Aids-Fondet.

He noted dating scenes can challenge personal boundaries.

Checkpoint clinics offer HIV and sexually transmitted infection testing.

Visitors also discuss personal experiences with consent and sexual assault.

Data from Rigshospitalet shows sexual minorities underuse existing assault centers.

The specialized counseling aims to address barriers to seeking help.

Aids-Fondet will receive 900,000 Danish kroner each year from 2027 to 2030.

Money comes from Denmark's political SSA agreement on social funding.

The total agreement allocates over 450 million Danish kroner to vulnerable groups.
