Understanding Homophobia in Rural Secondary Schools Research

One of the WayOut project’s initiatives, “OUTthere, Rural Victorian Youth Council for Sexual Diversity” is conducting research into the experiences of young people and workers in rural secondary schools. 

We know from our own experiences of attending secondary school in rural Victoria, that homophobia is an issue for many people, whether they're gay, straight, bi or not sure.  We would like to gather some more facts about what's happening.  If you have been the victim of homophobia in school, or you have seen or heard someone else being bullied, or if you think your school is taking active steps to stop homophobia, we want to hear from you!

Two separate confidential on-line surveys have been prepared for rural people – one for workers/teachers and the other for young people aged 12-21 years.

All the results will be collated and summarised into a report to be presented to the Victorian Government.  Based on your information we will make recommendations on how rural schools could eliminate homophobia.
