This document presents the global Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Index 2017/18. This report bridges insights from gender and development indices with those from peace and security indices. The index incorporates three basic dimensions of wellbeing — inclusion (economic, social, political); justice (formal laws and informal discrimination); and security (at the family, community, and societal levels) — and captures and quantifies them through 11 indicators. It ranks 153 countries — covering more than 98 percent of the world’s population — along these three dimensions in a way that focuses attention on key achievements and major shortcomings. It reflects a shared vision that countries are more peaceful and prosperous when women are accorded full and equal rights and opportunity.

The WPS Index incorporates three basic dimensions of women’s well-being inclusion (economic, social, political); justice (formal laws and informal discrimination); and security (at the family, community, and societal levels) which are captured and quantified through 11 indicators. The indicators are aggregated at the national level to create a global ranking of 167 countries. On a pilot basis in this report, we constructed subnational indexes for three of the world’s largest countries (China, India, and Nigeria), which reveal difference in performance within countries on many fronts.

This document presents a report on gender, justice and equality before the law. The report focuses on the laws and law enforcement practices that matter most for women and girls: protection from violence, rights within the family, property rights and rights at work. The report points to examples of good practice from across the region and encourages sharing of experiences and cross-fertilization of ideas. In so doing, it highlights what is achievable by building on the strengths of existing legal frameworks. Importantly, the report also provides an overview of the social and economic contexts in which laws are made and access to justice is exercised. It does not shy away from naming the inequitable attitudes and conservative gender norms that are obstacles to women’s empowerment. It also addresses the devastating impacts of conflict on the human rights of women and girls, and what can be done to prevent and mitigate those impacts.
