The United Nations Development Program has released the Gender Social Norms Index, illuminating the barriers facing the push for gender equality around the world.
The report says despite decades of work closing the gap between men and women in the workplace, close to 90% of both men and women have a bias against women.
This analysis reveals around half of the worlds men and women feel that men are better political leaders while a shocking 28% think it is justified to commit domestic violence against a female partner.
The United Nations Development Program Gender Team Acting Director Raquel Lagunas says that action must be taken now by governments around the world if there is going to be progress in achieving gender equality.
