The International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES) is the largest multi-country study of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa. So what does it mean to be a man in Egypt in 2017 and beyond – and what impact does masculinity have on the lives of women and girls, on men themselves, and for gender equality more broadly? To answer this question in Egypt, Promundo and UN Women, with El-Zanaty and Associates and the Social Research Center of the American University in Cairo (AUC), conducted qualitative research and surveyed 1,380 men and 1,402 women between the ages of 18 and 59 from five governorates across the country.
