The International Men and Gender Equality Survey
(IMAGES) is a comprehensive household questionnaire
on men’s attitudes and practices – along with
women’s opinions and reports of men’s practices –
on a wide variety of topics related to gender equality.
From 2009 to 2010, household surveys were
administered to more than 8,000 men and 3,500
women ages 18-59 in Brazil, Chile, Croatia, India,
Mexico and Rwanda. Topics in the questionnaire
included: gender-based violence; health and healthrelated
practices; household division of labor; men’s
participation in caregiving and as fathers; men’s
and women’s attitudes about gender and genderrelated
policies; transactional sex; men’s reports of
criminal behavior; and quality of life. This report
focuses on the initial, comparative analysis of
results from the men’s questionnaires across the six
countries, with women’s reports on key variables.
