Executive summary
	Focusing on gender norms makes economic sense for Eurasia
	Eurasia performs comparatively well on gender equality
	Yet legal barriers and discriminatory social norms hamper progress
	The most difficult area of change is the family
	A whole-of-society shift is needed to reshape gender norms
Key policy recommendations
	Start with legal reforms and gender-responsive policies
	Second, foster social transformation through community mobilisation
	Strengthen data collection and monitoring
