O1.3: Church - gender

Indicator’s Wording

Indicator’s Purpose

To assess the extent to which church members recognise the importance of addressing issues of gender equity as a key aspect of integral mission

How to Collect and Analyse the Required Data

Data collected via a survey. Possible question is:

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement: It is right for my church [or faith group] to speak out in support of gender equality.

For analysis a simpe percentage should be taken of the number of respondents reporting that they agree or strongly agree with the statement. Care should be taken in deciding whether this percentage applies to just those surveyed or whther it can be ascribed to the population as a whole. This will depend on the design of the survey and whether or not it was a representative sample of the population.

Disaggregate by

Gender, age group and faith group as standard. Depending on context and design the data could also be disaggregated by other relevent social identity markers.
