Validating the G-NORM Scale in Kenya and Nigeria
The G-NORM is a scalable, gold-standard metric for tracking progress toward gender-equitable norms across countries. Fraym validated the G-NORM scale with nationally representative data in Kenya and Nigeria. It fills a critical data gap in gender-focused research, providing stakeholders with reliable, high-quality data to track shifts in gender norms over time, compare trends within and across countries, and inform evidence-based interventions and policies.
