```html Nightlife in Austria: Women Desire More Inclusive Clubs ```

This is the result of a survey conducted by the market research institute TQS on behalf of Jägermeister Austria ahead of International Women's Day on March 8. The representative survey included 700 participants aged 18 to 40. Additionally, 52 percent of the women surveyed stated that they go out in groups of up to five people.

Majority of Austrian Women Demand More Inclusive Nightlife

24 percent prefer to go out exclusively with female friends. In general, the female audience in bars, venues, and clubs desires a higher proportion of women. For 54 percent, this also influences the choice of party location. "Only 23 percent deliberately choose venues with a higher proportion of men," it was stated in the release on Sunday.

A third of the surveyed trans individuals and nearly as many gay men (42 percent) as drag queens (40 percent) reported feeling uncomfortable in nightlife. According to the surveyed women, measures for a more inclusive nightlife would include more security personnel - particularly more queer, meaning non-heterosexual, staff. Additionally, 68 percent wish for more contact points for diversity and equality. The responsibility to implement this is seen by the survey participants as lying with the companies themselves.
