- According to the recently released Women, Business and the Law Index by the World Bank, although most countries have implemented laws to ensure gender equality, there is still a significant gap between men and women in terms of legal rights and provisions.
- The report revealed that the global pace of reforms towards gender equality has fallen to a 20-year low.
- India scored 74.4 out of a total possible 100. Unfortunately, India’s score was less than that of other countries such as Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nepal, and Congo.
- While this is higher than the South Asian region’s average of 63.7, it is lower than Nepal’s 80.6.
- The index covered a total of 190 economies. Of these only 14 scored 100.
