Study: 90% of men and women are biased against women

"We have come a long way in recent decades to ensure that women have the same access to life's basic needs as men. We have reached parity in primary school enrollment and reduced maternal mortality by 45 percent since the year 1990," added Pedro Conceicao, head, UNDP's Human Development Report Office.

"But gender gaps are still all too obvious in other areas, particularly those that challenge power relations and are most influential in actually achieving true equality. Today, the fight about gender equality is a story of bias and prejudices," Conceicao further said.
