The Wilson Center’s Middle East Program (MEP) and Arab Barometer hosted the launch of the 2024 Arab Barometer Gender Report. Arab Barometer, the longest-standing and the largest repository of publicly available data on MENA citizens, recently conducted its eighth round of polling assessing attitudes toward women’s rights and gender equality. MaryClare Roche, PhD, Director of Technology and Innovation at Arab Barometer, presented the data and key findings on attitudes regarding female workforce participation, political leadership, and education, as well as gender roles in and out of the home. Over the past year, how have regional attitudes and gender norms shifted? In particular, how does having working female relatives affect attitudes towards gender norms? To answer these questions and more, please join this expert panel discussion.
