The Young Women’s Movement want to hear from young women in Scotland about their thoughts and experiences of digital violence and its impact in their Status of Young Women in Scotland research survey.
Digital violence refers to harmful behaviours that take place online or through technology and it is not separate from violence in the physical world. Online and offline violence against women and girls are deeply connected: they reinforce each other, and apps and digital tools are increasingly being weaponised to intensify abuse. At the same time, digital spaces offer genuine opportunities for young women for connection, creativity, education, advocacy, and financial independence.
The survey is open to young women, trans women and non-binary people aged 16–30 who currently live in Scotland. Taking part is entirely optional, but doing so will help Young Women’s Movement to better understand the issues facing young women in Scotland today. By sharing your views, you are directly taking part in changing things for the better for young women and girls – The Young Women’s Movement will use the findings to engage with the government, decision-makers and service providers to make sure young women’s voices are listened to.
Taking part should take no more than 20 minutes, and all responses are anonymous and confidential. As a thank you for your time, you can enter a prize draw for a £50 Prezzee voucher and a limited-edition lambswool scarf, made in The Young Women’s Movement’s custom centenary tartan.
You don’t need to be an expert, we just want to hear from you!
