International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES)

Survey Questionnaires

January 2011

This document includes the men¡¯s and women¡¯s questionnaires used to conduct the International

Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES) as part of the Men and Gender Equality Policy

Project (MGEPP).

The International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES) is a comprehensive

household questionnaire on men¡¯s attitudes and practices ¨C along with women¡¯s opinions and

reports of men¡¯s practices ¨C 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 1859 in Brazil, Chile, Croatia, India, Mexico and Rwanda. Topics in the questionnaire include:

gender-based violence; health and health-related 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. A

preliminary report of survey finding was released by the MGEPP project partners in January

2011 focusing on the initial, comparative analysis of results from the men¡¯s questionnaires

across the six countries, with women¡¯s reports on key variables.

The initial multi-country comparative report of IMAGES findings is available for free

download here:

The Men and Gender Equality Policy Project (MGEPP), led by the International Center for

Research on Women (ICRW) and Instituto Promundo, is a multi-year, multi-country effort to

build the evidence base on how to change public institutions and policies to better foster gender

equality and to raise awareness among policymakers and program planners of the need to

involve men in health, development and gender equality issues. Project activities include:

1. A multi-country policy research and analysis presented in the publication available for

free download here: ;

2. IMAGES;

3. The ¡°Men who Care¡± study consisting of in-depth qualitative life history interviews with

men in five countries; and

4. Advocacy efforts and dissemination of the findings from these different components via

various formats, including a documentary film.

Participating countries in the project as of 2010 included Brazil, Chile, Croatia, India, Mexico,

Rwanda and South Africa. The multiple research components of the project aim to provide

policymakers with evidence-based, practical strategies for engaging men in gender equality,

particularly in the areas of sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence, fatherhood

and maternal and child health, and men¡¯s health needs.

Researchers interested in applying the IMAGES survey in new locations should contact Gary

Barker at Instituto Promundo (g.barker@.br) and/or Ravi Verma

(rverma@) and Manuel Contreras (mcontreras@) at ICRW.
