Bond and Griffith Universities researchers are conducting a survey into those gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people who have, OR have not reported, being victims of prejudice related violence/harassment to Queensland Police and community support groups. Researchers aim to use the information from the ‘Stop Gay Hate Now’ survey to increase awareness of the extent of homophobic violence/harassment against L.G.B.T.I. citizens experienced by Queensland residents over the age of 18.
The, completely confidential, data gathered will be used to provide recommendations to Queensland Police [and related community support services] to encourage reporting of offences against LGBTIs; ways to improve recording homophobic violence/harassment, and provide recommendations for legislative and other reforms to address homophobia generally.
After completing this survey, you will be given the chance to enter a prize draw for an Apple iPhone valued at $800 and to be considered for membership of some focus groups. However your personal contact details will not be linked to your answers to this survey.
