NORTH WEST PROVINCE SURVEY

Do you live in the North West Province? Then you must participate in this important survey about the LGBT community in the region.

The UNISA Centre for Applied Psychology (UCAP) and Gay Umbrella, a community based LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex) organisation, is busy with a research project in the North-West Province titled: Empowerment of Emerging South African LGBT Communities: The North-West Province as Case Study.

The project aims to determine the societal position of men and women engaging in same-sex sexual activities in emerging South African LGBT communities (such as the North-West Province) and to identify which possibilities are present to empower them.

The research team is looking for more people to participate in this project. A questionnaire has been designed for completion here. Although the questionnaire is quite extensive and takes about an hour to complete, it is hoped that the information will help us determine the needs of LGBT people.

All respondents are anonymous and all information is treated as highly confidential. We would like to invite all LGBT people currently living in the North-West Province to complete the questionnaire as soon as possible. The data collection phase of the project will end in about two months time, after which data will be analysed and results will be published.

Respondents may contact the following persons for assistance: Juan Nel on 012 429 8089/8544 and Eileen Rich on 012 339 8534 (office hours) or Hennie Baird on 083 698 7998 and Mildred Maropefela on 073 157 1791.
