The survey ran for one month during August and September. Sample size: 197. We’d like to thank everyone who took part in this fun, informal experiment and a huge thanks to all the men who shared the survey with women they know—it shows real support for the women out there working across industry. Do you have any ideas on some fun topics to survey our social media audience? Send your suggestions to communication@amsa.gov.au
