At NOWIE, we’re committed to understanding the unique challenges that women face in the events industry. As part of this mission, we’re conducting an annual research piece to explore issues such as gender discrimination, sexual harassment and family planning. The insights we gather will be invaluable in shaping a more inclusive, supportive, and equitable industry for all women.
We invite you to take part in this anonymous survey and share your experiences to help us advocate for the change that’s needed. Please note that some of the questions may cover sensitive topics, and we encourage you to only participate if you feel comfortable.
Trigger Warning: This survey includes questions related to workplace experiences, including harassment and assault, which may be distressing for some participants. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you are free to skip any question or stop the survey altogether.
If you find any part of this survey triggering or upsetting, we strongly encourage you to reach out to the following support organisations:
Rape Crisis England & Wales 0808 802 9999
Women’s Aid 0808 2000 247
Victim Support 0808 168 9111
Your participation is crucial in helping us to create a more equitable and supportive events industry. Thank you for sharing your experiences This survey is completely anonymous, and your responses will not be shared.
