According to a recent report by the Georgetown Institute for Women’s Affairs, Peace, and Security, in collaboration with the Oslo Peace Institute, Iraq has been placed 168th out of 177 countries on the global ranking for women’s security and economy.
The Women and Peace Index released by the two institutes focuses on three key dimensions: economic, social, and political integration, as well as justice at both formal and informal levels, and security at both individual and societal levels.
In terms of women’s security, globally, Denmark, Switzerland, and Finland secured the top three positions, while Afghanistan, Yemen, and the Central African Republic were among the lowest-ranked countries.
Interestingly, only nine countries performed worse than Iraq in terms of women’s security worldwide. The Middle East region saw the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait leading in economic and security conditions for women, with Saudi Arabia making significant progress and ranking 67th.
