Research Participation Opportunity – Understanding and Responding to Sexual Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community
Research Participation Opportunity – Understanding and Responding to Sexual Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community
“This study seeks to understand the experiences of LGBTQ+ people who have experienced sexual violence in Ireland, as well as the experiences of those who deliver services and supports to survivors. Our research has the potential to impact the development and improvement of services and supports for LGBTQ+ survivors of sexual violence in Ireland.
We are interested in hearing about the perspectives of LGBTQ+ people who have experienced any type of sexual violence, including those who sought professional support afterwards and those who chose not to. We are also interested in hearing about the perspectives of service providers who have supported LGBTQ+ survivors of sexual violence.
Sexual violence is defined as any sexual act which takes place without freely given consent, including crimes like rape, sexual abuse, image-based abuse (i.e., sharing intimate images or videos), sexual harassment, exploitation, or coercion.
Participation will involve attending a one-to-one confidential interview (in person or via zoom) and sharing your experience with the researcher.
Through this research, we aim to improve understanding of the perspectives of LGBTQ+ people who have experienced sexual violence in Ireland, as well as the experiences of those who deliver services and supports to survivors.” – Ciara Buckley, Dublin City University
