New project to support trans, non-binary and intersex survivors of sexual violence

Graham Robson August 13, 2020

Switchboard and Survivors’ Network are setting up a trans-led project to support trans, non-binary and intersex survivors of sexual violence in Brighton & Hove.

As part of this process, Switchboard and Survivors’ Network would like to make contact with more people from the trans, non-binary and/or intersex communities to hold interviews to gather thoughts to help inform the shape the project takes. These interviews will be open to all trans, non-binary and intersex people in the UK regardless of survivor status. Within that, they are particularly interested in hearing from black people, homeless people, people of colour, people of faith, sex workers, survivors of sexual violence and people from the intersex community.

The interviews, which can be done via video call, voice call or be written, will be held between Friday, August 20 and Friday, September 3 and Switchboard and Survivors’ Network can be flexible depending on the needs of participants. If you’d feel most comfortable talking to a trans interviewer, that can be arranged. While this project is about supporting survivors, they will not be asking questions about traumatic experiences.

If you are interested, you can get in touch to find out more by emailing: ruairi.white@switchboard.org.uk or kitty@survivorsnetwork.org.uk
