Sisällön kuvaus

The survey examines the experiences of lesbians living in Finland regarding hate speech and harassment, as well as how incidents of harassment have been reported.

First, respondents were asked about their observations and experiences of hate speech targeting LGBTQ+ people. The survey also examined how hostility appears in different environments, such as the media, and interpersonal interactions. In addition, it was examined whether hostile statements have increased and from which sources respondents have observed hate speech in public contexts.

The next section focused on respondents' personal experiences of harassment in everyday life. The questions covered both gender‑ and sexual orientation‑based harassment, as well as sexual harassment. Respondents were asked what kind of harassment they had experienced, where it had taken place, and which parties were responsible. In addition, the survey examined reporting of harassment and satisfaction with the response to reports. Finally, it was examined how harassment and hate speech have affected, for example, the respondents' activities. Respondents were also asked to share their views on how harassment could be prevented and how authorities and organisations could be made more approachable for LGBTQ+ people.

The background variables include the respondent's gender, age group, membership in minority groups, and occupational status.
