The Gender Equity Index

The Gender Equity Index is a measurement tool that assesses the equality of opportunities and rights between different genders within a society. It evaluates various factors, such as education, employment, health, and political participation, to determine how equally resources and opportunities are distributed. A higher index score indicates greater gender equity, meaning that men and women have more equal access to essential services and decision-making roles. This index helps identify areas needing improvement and promotes policies aimed at reducing gender inequalities. Overall, it serves as a valuable benchmark for understanding and enhancing gender equity globally.
