This article aims at defining the concept of global feminisms within the framework of a mega-sociology of emotions that allows us to compare people’s confidence towards women's organisations in two different geo-cultural regions: Europe and the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), based on data collected by the World Values Survey (WVS) in the 6th edition 2010–14. From a discriminatory analysis, the article concludes that people's identifications with women's organisations are related to: (i) their fundamental conceptions of the social relationships between men and women and their conception of social change (emancipation, equality and sexual freedom); (ii) their identification towards other social organisations; and (iii) their sex-gender, social position, income and religious practice. The comparison of these gender cosmologies displays similarities and differences that could be useful instruments for those involved in transformative identity policies and programmes in both regions.
