Hi everyone
My name is Neha, I'm an undergraduate student at Loughborough University currently in my final year studying Sociology. As many of you may already know, the final year consists of a dissertation project based on a topic of our choice. I have chosen the topic of Domestic Abuse against men and women in order to see how their experiences may differ as a result of gender differences. Domestic abuse is a social issue that is very close to my heart, therefore I felt that it was the perfect reason for me to choose it and study it in depth for my project.
The purpose of this post is to see if I am able to find any victims (men and women) who would be willing to participate in an online survey that will contain open-ended questions (questions that you are able to elaborate on in depth, rather than yes/no answers). I haven't designed the survey yet as I am trying to see whether I get any responses to this post first. Victims who participate in the study will be kept anonymous at all times and referred to as Participant 1, Participant 2 and so on. I understand that these experiences are hugely personal, but if you feel that you wish to share them then could you please reply to this post by Friday 21st November 2014 (at the latest), just so I get an indication of how many victims I would have for the study to know whether or not to go ahead with this particular method of conducting research.
Apologies for the very long post and I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read this! I really do hope that some of you agree to partake in my study and I would be forever grateful to those who do.
I look forward to hearing you.
Many thanks
Neha
