The risk is that the reverse is true.

"Yasmin Shariff said '[practices were]... treating them unfairly and failing to engage them equally' "

I'm not clear how the report - anecdotal as it is - reached this conclusion. Empirically, I agree that women are under-represented at all levels in the profession and we see repeated polls, surveys and reports highlighting this imbalance.

But we never see analysis of why this is the case. Are women being actively or passively prevented from reaching senior positions in architecture or are women choosing not to seek such positions? What is the cause and what is the proposed remedy?

Bland accusation and "straw polls" risk misrepresenting the true cause and effect of the situation.
