Canada, Italy, Women's Day … Ipsos Update explores the latest and research & thinking on key topics from Ipsos teams around the world.

As we celebrate International Women's Day through #EmbraceEquity in Malaysia this year, our findings review that inequality in social, political and economic rights still exists. However, most Malaysians are optimistic and confident that equality will be achieved in their lifetime.

Ipsos unveils a new global study carried out in 32 countries in collaboration with the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London for International Women’s Day.

- Among all the important issues faced by women in the country, Malaysians think sexual harassment is the top concern.
- Sexualisation of women and girls in the media is the second highest concern, and more frequently mentioned in Malaysia than in other countries.
- Compared to the global country average, equal pay and domestic abuse are less prominent concerns among Malaysians.

Social assistance such as cash and food support is viewed as core element for women’s post pandemic recovery, followed by flexible working hours and access to healthcare.

Compared to the global country average, Malaysians are less likely to highlight support for women who face violence or abuse.

While people from some countries see the pandemic having a more adverse impact on one gender than the other, Malaysians don’t tend to think of the negative outcomes as gender specific.

Twice as many think women who talk about family are likely to have their career harmed compared to men.

Latest Ipsos Global Survey reveals that though the goal of Gender Parity remains constant, challenges to help women get ahead persist

Looking back at what Ipsos research and analysis has told us about the world in the past year.
