- Description
- This report presents the first round of IMAGES data collection in the MENA region (Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Palestine) regarding men’s practices and attitudes. It analyzes the lives of men as sons, husbands and fathers, at home and at work, in public and private life, to better understand how they see their positions as men and their attitudes and actions toward gender equality. The subjects considered include gender norms, gender-equality policies, household dynamics, caregiving and fatherhood, intimate partner violence, sexual diversity, health and economic stress. The study provides women’s perspectives on these same issues. Both across and within countries, the study results show men’s and women’s various perspectives on the ways in which gender roles and women’s rights are changing in their own lives and in the wider world around them.
