Description: 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.
