UN study finds that 9 out of 10 people worldwide are biased against women.

91% of men and 86% of women show at least one clear bias against women in areas of politics, economics, education, and physical integrity.

Andorra, Australia , the Netherlands , New Zealand , Norway , and Sweden were the only countries where a majority of people showed no clear gender bias.

Clearly, something to keep in mind as we advocate for gender equality is how to effectively address people's core beliefs about women and equality in general. Legal progress without social progress is shaky at best, and true gender equality won't become reality unless people believe that it should. It appears we have some serious work ahead of us on that front. This article originally appeared four years ago ..
