More work on domestic women's rights

A YouGov–Cambridge Globalism Project survey asked people in many Western countries whether more should be done to improve women’s rights at home. In several nations a clear majority or near-majority said yes. Italians topped the list at 62%, followed by Spaniards at 60%, Hungarians at 57% and Swedes at 56%. Other countries where roughly half of respondents expressed concern included Poland, France, Canada, Australia and Greece.

By contrast, smaller shares in the United States (43%), the United Kingdom (48%), Germany (48%) and Denmark (46%) said their countries fall short on women’s rights. The survey also found gender differences: men were generally less likely than women to say more needs to be done. Researchers say the results show widespread public recognition of domestic gaps in gender equality even as global debates continue.
