This dataset presents a broad set of indicators on gender inequality, based on the FROGEE Gender Equality in Eastern Europe survey. Researchers in the FREE Network, who have long been involved in the FROGEE collaboration, designed the survey and administered it in late 2021. It reached representative samples in eight countries of the network: Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Latvia, Poland, Russia, Sweden, and Ukraine.

The survey covers many aspects of everyday life, including socio-economic conditions, demographics, material situations, family, and housing. In addition, it explores domestic and gender-based violence, focusing on respondents’ evaluations and perceptions rather than their personal experiences. Moreover, it investigates attitudes toward violence and harassment, perceived inequalities, and views on the current legal framework.
