Did you ever come back and tell us how in 2022 Rwanda got to be sixth on this list when it is a country that is in the bottom 50 countries for women dying in childbirth? When they have an entire section dedicated to 'Health & Survival'?
Yet you declare this index as meaningful in judging how well women are doing in the world?
Do you understand that this is not an assessment on how well women are doing in general in a country, but on whether female people are doing as well as male people in a particular country?
That a country may have a low attainment in education overall, but that female people are doing just as POORLY as male people.
Do you understand that?
You have tried to use this list for something that it is really not. And to do that requires every person reading your posts to ignore all the obvious fucking discrepancies in it. And ignore the glaring fucking obvious fact that there are some fucking doozies in the list after the countries you wish to lionise.
note to readers: I am sure you don't need to be reminded... but always look further at the data including at the countries that Suggestions want you to focus on while ignoring the others. And always look at how the data is pulled and shaped into such an index.
So, let's get to evaluating this.
Please can you explain how Rwanda was in the Top 10 last year? That would be a great start.
Tell us why you think Rwanda is a great place for female people and how well they are doing?
Did you ever come back and tell us how NZ with such an appalling record in violence against women and children hangs in there in the Top 5? Oh.... and expect NZ to drop because they no longer have a female head of state. Because.... ta da... having a female head of state is one of the measures that is considered in the algorithm in creating this. This is a major, major part of what they use for the 'Political Empowerment' information.
In fact suggestions, expect ITALY to go skyrocketing up this index in 2024! Because female head of state features pretty heavily in my memory. Imagine that!!!
So, getting back to that VAWAG, how was it in 2022 that Namibia, Nicaragua and Rwanda with women not even bothering to report violence against them to be even registered are in the Top 10? In 2023, Nicaragua and Namibia are still in the top 10 with Rwanda now at 12th.
Hell, this year's report noted that MALTA had a substantial jump in women in Parliament . MALTA! It jumped 15 places this year ! I mean it is number 70 still, but was rewarded by that jump of 15 places.
Do you remember how they compile 'gender equality' data based on roles? They are using "LinkedIn' information. They are not detailing what % of the workplace they think this covers, or what % of people keep this up to date or what % increase in 'female people taking on roles' is just women joining LinkedIn for the first time or updating their profile.
I certainly haven't plugged in my 'skills' etc on LinkedIn, yet, this is what they are using. It will certainly bias countries who rely on LinkedIn for recruitment won't it? In fact... it will certainly produce a bias to women who are in positions in Multi national organisations or in any organisation that they feel benefits from them having some kind of LinkedIn profile. And forget about the women who have experienced a lifetime of negative sexist discrimination and don't publish that they are female in their employment profiles. All those other women, nah... you don't get counted. (I have quite a few female friends in senior management positions who do not use LinkedIn at all, so it is rather a hit or miss measure in my experience)
They are not using government collated, checked and published sources. Why not?
While this is maybe a useful tool for some people, it simply does not represent what you keep telling everyone it represents. What is fucking bizarre, is your adherence to posting it on thread after thread as some kind of fucking gotcha.
