[size=52]Learn about Iraq's ranking in the gender equality index[/size]

[size=45]Algeria ranked first among the Arab countries in the Gender Equality Index (2019), while Yemen and Mauritania came at the end of the index, which measures 51 indicators of equality in 129 countries around the world, covering about 95% of the world's girls and women.
[size=45]Equal Measures 2030 (Equal Measures 2030), a British civil society organization dedicated to promoting gender equality in the world, released Monday the 2030 Index of Equality in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals, which the United Nations had previously called for.[/size]
[size=45]The measurement is based on 51 indicators covering 14 out of 17 sustainable development goals developed by the United Nations.[/size]
[size=45]The extent to which countries achieved gender equality was measured in a score of 0 to 100, with an average level of 65.7 percent, an excellent score of 90 and higher. The organization noted that no country in the world had achieved "excellent" but Denmark came before (89.3 percent).[/size]
[size=45]The report found that no country in the world has reached the "last mile" in achieving equality.[/size]
[size=45]According to the organization, 1.4 billion girls and women (about 40 percent of the world's women and girls) live in countries that have "failed to achieve gender equality".[/size]
[size=45]"No country is doing the ambitious work needed to tackle the intractable problems of even the best countries in the report," said Allison Holder, WHO's director. "Even countries with the highest scores need to do a lot, especially on complex issues like climate change, Equal representation in strong positions, gender wage gaps and gender-based violence.[/size]
[size=45]The organization acknowledged that gender equality is rising in high-income countries. Some low-income countries, however, achieved good grades, such as Rwanda, which ranked fifth in terms of women's physical security, and Kenya, which surpassed three quarters of the world in digital banking.[/size]
