The standouts:
- 90% of women in Jordan said Yes.
- 81.2% in Lao PDR said Yes.

Chilling.
Side note: Global Health Magazine’s Summer issue focuses on infectious disease. I admit I haven’t read it yet, but it’s all available online; so looks like great weekend reading to me. Global Health Magazine is a publication of Global Health Council (the people who do that really cool annual global health conference).
