UN Reveals Global Decline In Women's Rights
UN Women released a report on International Women's Day (March 8, 2024) finding that women's rights declined in 25% of countries in 2024, citing weakened democratic institutions, new technologies, climate change and conflict. The report documents major harms — 736 million women experienced physical or sexual violence, conflict-related sexual violence rose 50%, and 612 million women lived within 50 km of armed conflict — and calls for equitable AI access, violence prevention, and climate justice.
Key Points

Scoring Rationale
