As part of its research into what would improve people’s capacity to report sexual harassment, Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has launched an online survey.
Through research, the Centre is seeking to identify if there are better systems which could be used to name sexual harassment, complain about it if necessary and have more effective outcomes. The research will consist of evidence from the survivors of sexual harassment, together with pro-bono legal research from A&L Goodbody, one of Ireland’s leading law firms. The research is part funded by the Community Foundation of Ireland.
The survey asks people about their experience of sexual harassment, if any. For those who did experience such harassment, it asks them to say what helped them to disclose the harassment and what were the barriers to disclosure.
The aim of the questionnaire is to build a picture of survivor experience which can then feed into research being undertaken by the Centre to identify if there are better ways in which those who encounter such harassment can disclose it and have those disclosures dealt with satisfactorily.
The survey will run for the month of September 2018 on the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre website, and through its social media channels, Twitter and Facebook.
