The Lived Experience Survey (LES) is designed to understand occurrences of hate crimes and discriminatory, marginalizing, harassing, and exclusionary incidents. Modeled on similar surveys distributed in Greater Boston, the Winchester LES aims to both improve how the town of Winchester addresses hate crimes and discriminatory, marginalizing, harassing, and exclusionary incidents AND advance and systemize the process for rolling out this initiative in other towns, thereby creating a larger cross-community database.
