Equal Rights For Men And Women – Dream or Reality?
In anticipation of the International Women's Day, Ipsos asked respondents around the world their opinion on inequality between women and men in terms of their social, political and/or economic rights.
Does gender equality exist?
An overwhelming majority (88%) in 23 countries around the world believe in equal opportunities for men and women.
Despite the majority believing in equal treatment for both genders, women don’t always experience it. When asked if they have full equality with men, four in 10 (40%) disagree.
So does inequality exist? It appears so. Three quarters (73%) agree that there is currently inequality between women and men in terms of social, political and/or economic rights. Not surprisingly, more women (76%) than men (69%) agree.
