In the Global Gender Gap Index 2025 released by the World Economic Forum, India has slipped to the 131st position out of 148 countries. This marks a decline of two spots from the previous year and reflects the ongoing challenges India faces in achieving gender parity. With a parity score of just 64.1%, India remains among the lowest-ranked countries in South Asia. In comparison, Bangladesh led the region at 24th place, followed by countries like Nepal (125), Sri Lanka (130), Bhutan (119), Maldives (138), and Pakistan (148), highlighting regional disparities in gender equality progress.
