The majority of young women in Australia have faced sexism, according to the country's largest-ever survey on the topic.
The survey, conducted by Macquarie University in partnership with upcoming SBS documentary Is Australia Sexist? found 60 per cent of women aged 18-25 have "experienced gender inequality".
Forty per cent of women in that age group also said they had experienced sexual harassment in a public place over the past 12 months.
The survey was conducted with a sample of 3,599 Australian women and men in April 2018 and asked a variety of questions around sexism.
Forty-four per cent of the women surveyed felt it was easier to get your dream job in Australia if you are a man. One in four men agreed that was the case.
Sixty-two per cent of participants thought some jobs were "better suited to one gender", with almost one in 10 agreeing "men make better mathematicians and scientists than women".
Almost one-third of women aged 18 to 25 said they had experienced abuse online.
Macquarie University's Professor Catharine Lumby, who co-supervised the survey, told SBS News the results should act as a "huge wake-up call" for Australia.
"I think the vast majority of Australians want to see gender equality, but there's a still a lack of awareness about the gender discrimination that the average woman experiences at different stages of her life," she said.
