The Index, compiled by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security and the Peace Research Institute of Oslo, draws on recognized international data sources to rank 153 countries on the condition of women and their empowerment in homes, communities, and societies more broadly. It is the first index to capture women’s inclusion, security, and access to justice in the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda.
The WPS Index represents an innovation in how we think about and measure women’s wellbeing by bringing together achievements for example in schooling and access to cell phones, an essential tool for women around the world, with data on violence against women and girls.
