Equality Network are looking for people to participate in their research

a blue-green letter E with the words Equality Network in purple text

Bi, pan, queer? We want to hear from you

The Equality Network is running this survey to find out people’s experiences of both bi+ inclusion and biphobia in service provision, and what you want done to tackle biphobia in the UK. We want to help improve services and increase understanding of bi+ identities and their intersections within our community. To do this, we need to hear from you. This is part of our wider work to improve intersectional inclusion across the whole LGBTQIA+ community. If you have time, we would love for you to answer our survey.

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/89D6RGX

For the purposes of this survey we use “bi+” as an umbrella term. This survey is for anyone who has ever experienced sexual or romantic attraction towards more than one gender and it will ask about discrimination on this and other protected characteristics. We understand and are interested in hearing about how different types of discrimination intersect and affect you.
