Writing Themselves In 3

Are you attracted to people of the same sex? Aged between 14 and 21 years? Living in Australia? Interested in having a say about the issues affecting your life?
Then you should fill out an online survey for the
3rd national Writing Themselves In questionnaire.
It has been put together by a team of researchers from the Australian Research Centre in Sex Health and Society (La Trobe University), Melbourne, with the help of a number of young people and youth workers from a range of different organisations.
The results of this research will be used to improve education and services and focus more attention on how to make Australia a more inclusive place regarding sexual diversity.
Click here to fill in the survey (it takes about 20 minutes).
