Social Attitudes
The SWMENA survey asked a large number of questions in order to gauge social attitudes toward women. This section reviews attitudes on support for women and daughters in politics, allowing women to work outside the home, and support/opposition for women involved in decision-making positions, among others. These questions give a sense of the mentalities between societal groups such as between genders and between women of different sects, education levels, and age groups.
