What do young people in the Middle East think about women?


A survey found that only a quarter of men in the Arab region support equality for women in some places, while most men still believe that women's primary responsibility is to take care of the home.


 Interviews in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Palestine show that most young people have the same old ideas as their ancestors.


 The survey, conducted in four countries, found that 10,000 people, including 20 to 50 percent of men, said they felt ashamed of facing family problems due to lack of employment or money.

"In the Arab region, it is believed that the male-dominated system is clearly dominant, which is best for men," said the girl who led the study.


 He said the system only works for a small number of people in the upper class, while there are many women below them, but the survey also found that the lives of many men are extremely difficult. '

 The survey also found that in some areas, up to 90% of men possibly control women's liberties, from sex to clothing.


 Half or less of men believe that married women should have the same right to work as men. Similarly, in all four countries, the majority of men seem willing to recognize a female officer or boss. Surprisingly, women also supported traditional notions and ideas revolving around gender roles. More than 70 percent of women say they want the right to work, but the majority agree that men should be given the first chance if there is little work to be done. Research has shown that older people are more concerned about gender equality. Young people are more liberal than in the Middle East and North Africa, except in Lebanon. Young women are more open-minded than their mothers or grandmothers, while young men seem to be more conservative than their elders.
