New survey seeks to fill knowledge gap in rural women’s wellbeing

Another survey? Just ask us, we'll tell ya what's up. Bloody waste of money.

Zoe King2026-06-17T22:55:17.000Z

yeah nah, rural women are tough as. We don't need some city researcher telling us what's wrong. Get outta here with that survey crap.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-17T23:51:17.000Z

Exactly. I've seen how hard rural women work. They deserve support.

James O’Brien2026-06-17T23:11:17.000Z

Honestly, the isolation and lack of services out here is real. If this survey helps get more funding for mental health support in rural areas, I'm all for it.

Tom Harris2026-06-17T23:58:17.000Z

mate, been hearing that for years. Funding always goes to Auckland.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-17T23:25:17.000Z

❤️ So important. Our rural wahine need more visibility. Thanks RNZ for covering this.

Aria Wilson2026-06-17T23:51:17.000Z

survey could be the first step to getting that funding though. Gotta have data to back up the requests.

Aria Wilson2026-06-18T00:10:17.000Z

I'm a student researching rural health, and this is such a crucial topic. There's so little data on rural women's wellbeing. Really hope this survey gets a good response.

James O’Brien2026-06-18T01:05:17.000Z

but sometimes talking is what we need. Acknowledgment matters.

Mia Carter2026-06-18T00:27:17.000Z

Just fill it in and move on. Complaining on Facebook won't get us better healthcare. Do something proactive.

Mia Carter2026-06-18T01:19:17.000Z

stuffed, at least they're trying. What have you done to help?

Ben Sullivan2026-06-18T00:38:17.000Z

I moved here from the city and I've seen how hard rural women work. They're the backbone of the community, but nobody asks how they're doing. Good on RNZ for this.

Zoe King2026-06-18T00:47:17.000Z

lol another bunch of academics with clipboards coming to gawk at us. I'll believe it when I see actual funding, not just another report gathering dust.

Zoe King2026-06-18T01:04:17.000Z

it's just another box-ticking exercise. Watch, nothing will change.

River Cole2026-06-18T00:52:17.000Z

Might be a waste, but at least someone's paying attention. Better than nothing I guess.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-18T01:04:17.000Z

kaha. Every little bit helps.
