The Gender Legislative Index (2018) is a tool to rank and score legislation against global standards for women’s rights. It uses human evaluators and machine learning to bring to light legislative good practice and how poor performing laws can be improved.
The Gender Legislative Index (GLI) highlights the power of the law to deliver concrete change to fulfil women’s rights. The GLI facilitates a comparison of laws addressing the same issues, or of legislation across different areas of the law, or comparisons across countries.
The GLI is aimed at helping legislators, activists and advocates to build a body of legislation that works better for women. It seeks to get the law right in the first place, rather than invest in poor or average laws, for the sake of having a law, that later needs amending.
