Copy of Public Harassment survey (Women's version with public) |
Public Harassment Survey Public (Women)
What are we looking for?
We are looking from contributions from women about their experiences of public harassment, whether they think that women's experiences differ from those of men. What they think of potential criminal offences and the use of educational campaigns aimed at men, to tackle the issue. We are also interested in whether women change their behaviour to avoid public harassment, and if so, how they might use public space if they did not have to consider public harassment. Finally, we are interested in what changes women think are necessary to make public spaces safer for all.
Women can also contribute a photo, taken by themselves, or a piece of writing or music, already in the public domain, which conveys to them, how they might use public space without having to consider public harassment.
Why are we looking for contribution from women?
We are putting together an exhibition on Public Safety and Public Harassment at NTU in 2023. This will inform current projects at NTU, research reports and academic publications on what needs to happen to make public spaces safer for all, particularly women and girls.
What happens if you choose to take part?
Your contribution will form part of a body of data used in an NTU exhibition and research report, and academic publications to outline what changes are needed to make public spaces safer for all, particularly women and girls.
What else do you need to know before taking part?
Your contribution will be kept anonymous and provided with a unique identifier and stored in an NTU password protected digital file on an NTU password protected university computer to which only the named university researchers have access. At the end of the survey, you can provide additional consent to take part in a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher. You will need to provide an email address if you wish to take place in the prize draw. Email addresses will be kept secure and stored in a separate NTU password protected file on an NTU password protected university computer to which only the named researchers have access. Your email address will only be used to contact you if you are successful in the prize draw. Once the research is finished and published, the data will be stored for 10 years on an NTU password protected archive and then destroyed.
Please note, that whilst the above steps will be taken to protect confidentiality, direct quotes, testimonies, and any uploaded photos may be used in publications and in the exhibit. This may mean that full confidentiality cannot be guaranteed as participants (despite being anonymised) may be identifiable from photos/groups/quotes/testimonies
