A new survey has today been launched by Young Women Rise, a research and digital campaign group led by 10 empowered diverse young women from across Scotland supported by Scottish Women’s Aid and YWCA Scotland – The Young Women’s Movement. This group have come together to research young women’s experiences of unhealthy relationships, domestic abuse and to research young women’s experiences of unhealthy relationships, domestic abuse and access to support. This survey will gather data on young women’s perceptions, awareness and understanding about domestic abuse, unhealthy relationships and existing support structures. The data will help Scottish Women’s Aid better understand young women’s experiences and support needs. The survey will be followed by focus groups later this year.
The survey is open to girls and women living in Scotland aged 12-25 until 5th October 2021 and can be accessed here.
