Within the Framework of Diversity and Childhood, primary and secondary research has been
implemented in Greece including apart from desk research a mixed research method. More
specifically, quantitative data were gathered with an online survey and at the same time,
qualitative data were collected with interviews with stakeholders and a workshop with lower
secondary school children. First of all, a literature review was conducted which aimed to map the
existing situation regarding LGBTI+ rights in Greece, the rights of their community and the legal
framework in order to identify the remaining needs and gaps.
Secondly, an online survey was created, which was free to access from January until 31st of March
2020. The aim of this survey was to identify the current perceptions about gender identity and
sexual orientation in children and adolescents. Analysis from the survey was used in order to
better refine the interview guide and to better organize the interviews. In total, there were
documented 59 answers (50 was the minimum expected). Among the respondents there were 23
cisgender women and 27 cisgender men (nine did not answer), and 62.7% of those who answered
were heterosexual. Afterwards, six in depth interviews (two of them via skype) were conducted and four
questionnaires were handed out1 with stakeholders who represent education, health, media
sector, family and people from public space (two people from each category) in March and April
2020. The aim of the interviews was to better map the needs and challenges professionals face
but to also identify the remaining stereotypes regarding LGBTI+ and gender diversity children and
youth. There were eight females and two males and their average years were 40 years old (min 27
years old- maximum 52 years old).
Lastly, a workshop with lower secondary school children was conducted on March 3, 2020 in a
private lower secondary school in Athens. The aim of the workshop was to explore the ideas
and beliefs that children have about gender identity and gender expression and to identify the
gaps and the needs that are required in order to combat violence and discrimination towards
LGBTI+ children. In total 16 students between 13 and 14 years old participated. All of them
belonged to the school mediation group2
. Among them, there were three boys and 13 girls. Five
teachers were also present during the workshop: two of them participated as well, while the
other three were observing. In the back, an independent researcher was observing the
workshop and did not participate at all. The workshop lasted three hours from 12:00 until 15:00
with a 15’ break Projecte "Diversity and childhood: changing social attitudes towards gender diversity in children across Europe", finançat pel Programa de Drets, Igualtat i Ciutadania (2014-2020) de la Unió Europea (REC-RDAP-GBV-AG-2018-856680) |
