Egale is conducting a national survey about the personal experiences of LGBTQI2S youth (14-24) with dating violence, healthy relationships, and support services.

We invite you to share or participate in the Speak OUT national survey on LGBTQI2S youth dating violence –  The survey is open to all self-identifying LGBTQI2S youth ages 14 to 24 and takes 20-30 minutes.

The survey is anonymous and voluntary.

The results of this survey will help inform policy decisions, programming options to combat gender based violence, and will provide insight to our understanding of the unique contexts in which LGBTQI2S youth experience dating violence.
