23.01.2022 "We are reaching out for your help for our : Empowerment and support services for communities experiencing prejudice-motivated harassment and abuse. The project is conducted by Victoria University in partnership with Wyndham City Council." This project strongly relies on the active participation and input from Wyndham’s diverse communities. Insights from local communities and networks will help us understand how support services and reporting options can be improved for peopl...e who have experienced prejudice, racism and/or Islamophobia. To help gather input, researchers have created a brief online questionnaire (10-15 minutes) which hopefully can be shared with as many people as possible. More specifically, this questionnaire is for people who are 18 years of age or older, live (or spend a significant amount of time) in Wyndham, and who belong to a culturally, ethnically or religiously diverse community. Participation is entirely anonymous and confidential. You can help, in two important ways: 1. Completing the Questionnaire We kindly invite to you to please complete a short questionnaire online. This questionnaire is entirely anonymous and confidential. It should not take more than 10-15 minutes of your time and can be accessed here. https://vuau.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4VihdsO9nRCLCQJ 2. Sharing the Questionnaire with your community
