The report found that from 2019-2022, almost 1B women in 40% of countries faced declining or stagnating gender equality.
Between that period, according to the report, gender equality decined in 17 countries, remained the same in 36, made "some progress" in 45, and "fast progress" in 41. Based on these trends, it claims 68.9% of the world will ahve gender equality by 2030.During that time span, according to the report, gender equality declined in 17 countries, remained the same in 36, made "some progress" in 45, and made "fast progress" in 41. Based on these trends, it claims just 68.9% of the world will have gender equality by 2030.
The road to global gender equality is darker than it has been in almost a decade. NotEven only have we seen women's rights deteriorate in countries like Afghanistan and Venezuela, but also in the US, wherethe itsSupreme highCourt court stripped women of their national abortion rights. Across the world, women hold less wealth, education, and political power than men,. notAnd tothey mentionhave theira higher likelihood of facing violence. If this trend continues, it will take more than a century to reach full equality of the sexes.
These global reports are fraudlentinaccurate. ForWhen example, one of them previously ranked Rwanda higher than the US because both genders faced equal rates of poverty, illiteracy, and violence. But when women in wealthy and free Western countries choose to be mothers or decline to climb the corporate ladder, these NGOs often claim those societies are falling backwards. Equality means allowing men and women to live how they want, not forcing them to achieve some abstract UN agenda.
