- Description
- This report aims to quantify the existence and magnitude of harmful gender-based stereotypes and gender bias. The pilot study focused on 9 areas: barriers to accessing education and health care rights ; barriers at the household level: personal decisions, marriage and family life, safety and violence ; barriers at work and employment, access to property and control of personal finances ; barriers by society: safety in public and the workplace, leadership and participation. The following ten countries were researched: Colombia, India, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, The Philippines, Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and United States.
- The study was developed by UN Women in partnership with private sector organizations AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Kantar, Procter & Gamble and Unilever, all members of Unstereotype Alliance, in the context of the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
The report serves as an evidence-based instrument that demonstrates how leveraging attitudinal change can be used as a critical tactic towards advancing gender equality, the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and notably, SDG-5, on achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
