Voice of the people@International Women's Day

Key findings of Gallup pole

Four out of ten global citizens still think that women do not have equal rights: this is according to the Voice of the People© survey, released by Gallup International for International Women's Day on 8 March. The poll, which interviewed over 60 000 people in 64 countries, also shows that a quarter of the surveyed population thinks education is more important for boys than for girls, although the vast majority expects both genders to contribute to a family’s household income.
Commenting on the results of this study, Meril James, Secretary General of Gallup International, said: “On International Women's Day, our Voice of the People© survey shows that although some progress has been made to improve women's rights, gender equality is still a goal that will need to be met in the decades to come.”
