The purpose of the present study is to describe the processes undertaken to evaluate and validate the psychometric properties of Gender Equality Questionnaire.

The validation processes employed for the study were: face validity, construct validity using factor analysis, reliability using split-half reliability and Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient. The study found sufficient reliability and validity for the questionnaire to be generalized and used for research purposes.
