Fuck the patriarchy: Analysis of 75 countries reveals ‘shocking’ scale of global women’s rights backlash. The first gender social norm index analysed data from 75 countries that, collectively, are home to more than 80% of the global population.
Patriarchy is not men. It is systems of oppression that privilege male dominance.
The report found:
- 91% of men and 86% of women hold at least one bias against women in relation to politics, economics, education, violence or reproductive rights.

“We all know we live in a male-dominated world, but with this report we are able to put some numbers behind these biases,” said Pedro Conceição, director of the UNDP’s human development report office. “And the numbers, I consider them shocking.
“While in many countries these biases are shrinking, in many others the biases are actually sliding back. If you take the overall average of the information we have, we show that on average we are sliding back – that biases, instead of shrinking, are growing back.”
