JOHNNY the Gay Peer Action Group shall launch the '2006 LGBT Hate Crime Report' based on the findings of the 'Stop Hate Related Crimes in Ireland' campaign survey of April - July 2005.

This is the first significant piece of research into LGBT Hate Crimes in the Republic of Ireland and is based on a sample size of 1000 respondents. This launch event will consist of a general presentation of the research findings, an open questions and answers session followed by an informal social opportunity.

The event is open to all members of the LGBT community, NGO representatives, policy makers, interested private and public agencies representatives, the media, research entities and other pre-approved parties.

In order to facilitate as many people as possible, we are currently asking interested parties to mail: Johnny_info@yahoo.co.uk with their name and expression of interest in attending.

Copies of the research report will not be made available to members of the general public until after the report launch.

You can see the survey used here

http://www.queerid.com/html/hatecrimesurvey.doc

The report will basically give answers to the survey

- Information such as how many people were victims of hate crimes, where attacks took place, how many people who identified as victims reported this to the police, reasons for not reporting etc

There are sections from other groups or individuals with experience in this area

Interesting to read. Q C5 is kinda worrying, only 20% of victims reported attacks to the Gardai.
