The document summarizes key findings from a report on the Women, Peace and Security Index, which ranks 167 countries based on indicators of women's inclusion, justice, and security. India ranks 133rd overall. While India has seen improvements in financial inclusion and cell phone access for women, it performs poorly on metrics like education levels, employment rates, and sex ratio at birth. The report also finds that a majority of women in India feel unsafe and that authorities are not doing enough to ensure women's safety, though some states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala have better results.

4.  How India fares among South Asian countries Here are key highlights of India’s
performance in various indicators.
 Under mean years of education India doesn’t perform very well with women
receiving only 4.3 years of education on average.
 The island neighbor Sri Lanka fares the best with 10.3 of mean years of education
for women aged 25 years and older.
 The percentage of women in employment has seen a dip from 29.4 per cent in 2017
to 26.5 percent this year.

5.  Countries that are least likely to be safe for women
include Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, South
Sudan, and Iraq (ranked form 167 to 162).
Takeaways for India India on the whole is ranked at 133
out of 167 countries with an index score of 0.625.
Norway, the best country according to the index has a
score of 0.904.
According to the study, the southern states of India are
better for women.
Whereas the worst performing states lie in the belt
from the north to the centre, from Rajasthan to Assam.
Kerala ranks as the best state in the country and is
regarded for its story of human development but that
has not translated into women’s employment,
highlights the report

6. • Manipur which performs well in the inclusion
and justice, fares poorly in terms of security of
women.
Protracted ethnic violence and sexual violence
against women has made the state the least
favorable in the country.
The example is critical in understanding that
security of women can provide a truer picture
than indicators like inclusion and justice.

From 42.6 percent in 2017 to 76.6 percent in 2019 with several women aged 15 and older having an
individual or joint account at a bank or other financial institution or using a mobile money service in
the past year.
South Asian countries don’t perform very well in political inclusion with no country touching the 50
percent mark.
Nepal has the highest percentage of women with 33.5 percent and India having only 12.2 percent
women parliamentarians.

8. India is the bottom ranked country in terms of son bias exposing the deep rooted bias against females.
Son bias reflects a preference for boys, which indicates serious discrimination against girls and women.
This index captures the extent to which the sex ratio at birth (ratio of number of boys born to number of girls born)
exceeds the natural demographic rate of 1.05.
India’s son bias stands at the rate of 1.11. With Bhutan being the best performer with 1.04.

9.  Security index looks at the organised violence, violence by intimate partners and
women’s perception of community safety.
 India performs well under organised violence as deaths caused due to armed
conflict stand at 0.06 per 100,000 deaths.
 However, violence committed intimate partners is still high with 22 percentage
women reporting such violence in the last 12 months.
 With several reports of harassment and rapes in the last two years, women’s
perception of safety in the streets and public places has also gone down.

safety perception of women across the country and their opinion of the
attitude of authorities towards their safety. It further indicates that not much
has moved on the ground in states like Haryana and Delhi where the violence
against women is rampant.

Pradesh score well on women’s safety.”
