The data reveal a consistent gender support gap, whereby men are notably more likely than women to favour a ban in five of the six countries surveyed. The highest levels of male support are found in France (82%) and Britain (80%), where support among men exceeds that among women by 6 and 8 percentage points, respectively.\r\nA significant trend emerges in Southern Europe, where the gender disparity is most acute: in Italy, men support the ban by 10 percentage points more than women (75% vs 65%), and a similar 8-point gap exists in Spain. Poland is the only outlier in this dataset, being the only country where female support (55%) slightly exceeds male support (51%)."}
