A Global Majority Supports Women's Equality: A global poll conducted by World Public Opinion found 86 percent of respondents agreed women's equality is somewhat or very important. Also, 72 percent of respondents believed women have gained more equality in their lifetime, with 66 percent believing the United Nations should be making greater efforts to improve women's rights abroad.  Recently updated, the poll was first released in 2008, they year of the 60th anniversary of the U.N.
