Research on violence against women and girls in Dundee

Your Voice Matters! An invitation to take part in violence against women and girls research.  

This research is a part of the national violence against women and girls (VAWG) needs assessment work being carried out in 2026. Through this research Protecting People would like to better understand women’s experiences, to improve their support systems and shape their future plans for keeping women and girls safe in their homes and in our city. This is open to everyone in the workforce and is also open to the public.

We need your help! Interviews will be carried throughout March, and we would like to hear from you! 

We are keen to know:

  • What women’s experiences of VAWG are in Dundee?
  • What support and services women and girls need?
  • What more do Dundee’s VAWG services need to do to support women and girls?
  • How effective are our city’s responses to perpetrators and to preventing VAWG?

If you’d like to take part please email Dr Anni Donaldson at adresearch52@gmail.com.

To make participation more accessible for all we have now introduced a survey option, allowing individuals to share their views privately and in their own time. All input whether through interview or survey will be used to inform the research.
In addition, we have created a separate survey specifically for professionals to help gather insights from those working within relevant services.
