UN report reveals women's rights declining in 25% of countries

A new UN report reveals that women's rights are declining in nearly 25% of countries. While there has been progress in areas like girls' education, violence against women remains a serious issue, with a woman or girl killed every 10 minutes. The report highlights a 50% increase in conflict-related sexual violence since 2022. It notes that despite some legal advancements, gender discrimination persists, with women holding only 64% of the legal rights of men and three-quarters of lawmakers being male. UN Women has proposed a roadmap to achieve gender equality by 2030. This plan includes improving access to technology, social protections, and ensuring women's equal decision-making power in various sectors.
