Inclusion Reels

Answer:

Ans-1. The survey found that between 60 - 70 % of men surveyed across the UK, America and Mexico report being told that a “real man should behave a certain way” at some point in their lives.

Ans-2. The correct answer is C. In 18 countries husbands can legally prevent their wives from working and in 39 countries daughters and sons do not have equal inheritance rights. Despite the contributions to family and society, women still do not have equal access to rights, services and opportunities i.e. equal pay and decent work, property and inheritance rights, access and control of land including financial services and credit. This limits the choices women have to increase economic independence and restricts their rights..

Ans-3. The correct answer is B. Women are still underrepresented in managerial positions. In the majority of the 67 countries with data from 2009 to 2015, fewer than a third of senior- and middle-management positions were held by women. Studies have shown that companies and governments perform better when they have greater participation from women. For example, women’s participation in peace processes increased the likelihood of a peace agreement lasting at least two years by 20%, and the probability of the agreement lasting 15 years by 35%.

Ans-4. The correct answer is B. Only 52% of women married or in a union freely make their own decisions about sexual relations, contraceptive use and health care. Sexual and reproductive rights are critical in their own right. Shortfalls in these multiply other forms of discrimination, depriving women of education, decent work, and economic independence. Additionally, the growing use of contraceptive methods has resulted in not only improvements in health-related outcomes such as reduced maternal mortality and infant mortality, but also improvements in schooling and economic outcomes, especially for girls and women.
