Select Countries in the Global Women Index of Inclusion, Justice, and Security for 2021/22

We examine the ratings of large countries and countries of concern in the Women Peace and Security Index of 2021/22.  The survey by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security (GWIPS) includes 170 countries, in three categories of Inclusion, Justice, and Security.  The subtopics of each category is shown below.

In general, they conclude that the advance has slowed and disparities have widened among countries.  There are 90 million displaced women worldwide.

The United States ranks 21st, with a combined score from 0 to 1 of 0.861.

Under Inclusion, the mean years of schooling in the US is 13.5.  Employment percent is 52%.  Cellphone use is 94%.  Financial inclusion is 92.7%.  But women’s share of Congressional seats is only 26.8%.

Under US Justice, discriminatory norms is 1, son bias M/F birth ratio is 1.05, and absence of legal discrimination against women is 91.3.

Under US Security, women’s perception of community safety is 70.6%, and current intimate partners violence is 6%.

Among main European and North and South America countries we have the combined rank and rating on a scale of 0-1 the table.

Among Asian countries we choose to show:

Out of the the 170 countries, Afghanistan has by far the lowest score.  Out of 170 countries, if 85 is the median rank, the world’s two largest countries, China and India, with populations of 1.4 billion people each, are both below that.  Ukraine will be lowered by the unjustified and inhumane Russian invasion, and the flight of over 5 million women and children.

We now cover the Middle East, where Iran is highlighted for siding with Russia in its invasion of Ukraine and supplying it inhumanely used drones, and also the country of women revolting against dress codes and their cruel enforcement.  The youth are also demonstrating against the religious dictatorship.  Iran is also developing nuclear weapons and part of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.  Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ states are not part of sanctions against Russia.

Yemen and Syria have been afflicted with inhumane wars, starvation, and forced flight.
