This year, OPEN partnered with researcher Dr. Amy Moors to survey nearly 6,000 non-monogamous people from 65 countries about their real experiences. Made possible with support from the Multiamory Podcast and Feeld. Here's MORE of what we learned: 🧵

Research shows that social support networks in the general population are shrinking. Meanwhile, non-monogamous people are building resilient communities of care.

Let's build a strong movement for rights, acceptance, and resilient communities! Get involved: www.open-love.org/join

So what’s protecting us? Despite widespread stigma, our well-being matches the general population. Something is making a difference. The answer: each other!

We show up for each other. >90% of people reported 2+ sources of moderate to strong instrumental or emotional support... particularly from within their non-monogamous relationships and communities.

It turns out... We're thriving! >50% of people reported high life satisfaction and self-esteem – consistent with the general population

But stigma and discrimination still take a toll. 61% experienced stigma or discrimination – and more instances of discrimination are (unsurprisingly) linked to lower life satisfaction and self-esteem.
