On the first International Women’s Day since the pandemic spread globally, we look at the state of gender equality and how it’s projected to be following this global health crisis.
The respondents acknowledged the need for more support for women and girls who face violence or abuse but, while this is an issue getting attention in many countries, respondents in Turkey , South Africa and Peru are much more likely than others to prioritise support for women and girls who face violence or abuse than the global country average. In contrast, this is seen as less of a priority in Russia , the Netherlands and Italy .
Overall, respondent to the Ipsos survey think gender equality will either stay the same or worsen after the pandemic. A total of 52 percent of those surveyed think that gender equality will revert to what it was before the pandemic.
