I don’t doubt that Israel is backsliding on women’s rights, but this “Women, Peace and Security Index” has got to be bullshit.
They have a bunch of parameters that try to capture the situation of women, and I’m sure that can be useful to gauge which way the wind is blowing for a single country, but it gets kinda ridiculous when Saudi Arabia gets a much better score than Turkey, China, India, Brazil, Iran, and Mexico.
Just a reminder that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 2018.
