academics, health professionals, community organisations and policymakers with an interest in the wellbeing of trans and non-binary people.
We had 1,178 survey participants, with 99% of them completing the survey online.
Safety and violence.
- Almost a third of participants (32%) reported will since they were 13. This is a much higher rate of sexual violence than for women or for men in the general population. Participants
who reported this were twice as likely to have attempted suicide in the past year (18%) than participants who did not report this (9%).
- Almost half (47%) reported someone had attempted to have sex with them against their will, since the age of 13. (From the Executive summary). Access the website to for sections of the report available in PDF and Word formats, and other resources. Record #6396
