In 2017/18 we undertook the community-led "Being LGBTQUA+ at Warwick" research project to better understand the experiences and needs of our LGBTQUA+ community at Warwick.
The research found that:
- 38% of LGBTQUA+ students have experienced LGBTQUAphobia at Warwick
- 68% of LGBTQUA+ trans students have experienced LGBTQUAphobia at Warwick, compared with 31% of cis LGBTQUA+ students
- 63% of LGBTQUA+ students feel supported by the University, and 75% by the Students' Union
- 46% of trans students feel supported by the University, and 64% by the Students' Union
- 59% of bi+ students feel supported by the University, and 78% by the Students' Union
- 46% of ace/aro students feel supported by the University, and 77% by the Students' Union
The research also allowed us to better understand the forms of LGBTQUAphobia experienced by the community, as well as what makes them feel (un)supported.
