The aim of this website is to decrease ignorance, prejudice and stigma; we believe that the best way to do this is through education. If you’ve grown up being told one thing and are surrounded by quite similar individuals who all think in the same way it’s sometimes hard to understand others’ experiences. This website provides you with the space to explore a huge variety of lifestyles and people from the comfort and safety of your own computer: it is as interactive as possible and gives you the opportunity to engage and ask questions about issues that maybe you’d never thought about before or just dismissed as not being important or relevant to you.
HELP!!
We are trying to evaluate the work that the website does and would really appreciate you taking out 10 minutes to tell us what you think. Thanks! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/liberateyourself
