UN Report Reveals Alarming Gender Bias Against Women with No Improvement in Past Decade
TL;DR Summary
A new UN report has found that almost nine out of 10 people hold "fundamental biases" against women, with half of people globally believing men make better political leaders than women, more than 40% believing men make better business executives than women, and 25% believing it is justified for a man to beat his wife. Biased gender social norms are a major barrier to achieving gender equality, and the undervaluation of women's capabilities and rights in society constrains women's choices and opportunities. The report warns that the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030, and governments have a crucial role in shifting gender social norms.
