As a key part of our advocacy, YWCA Canberra has conducted recurring surveys of women and non-binary people aged 16 and over, with more than 1,000 responses in 2019, over 1,200 in 2021, and again in 2023.

The results are captured in our Our Lives: Women in the ACT reports, which provide vital insights into the lived experiences of women and gender-diverse people in the territory. In 2025, we’re aiming to hear from 5,000 participants—the largest sample yet—to ensure our advocacy is grounded in the voices and realities of our community.
