Summary

In addition to their actual experiences of discrimination, participants were asked if they had witnessed different forms of discrimination in the twelve months prior to the Census. The question was asked in relation to different aspects of their identity - that is, whether they had witnessed discrimination on the basis of gender, race, sexuality, religion, age or disability.
