WOMEN PEACE AND SECURITY INDEX

The 2023 edition of the global Women Peace and Security Index (WPS Index) scores
and ranks 177 countries in terms of women’s inclusion, justice, and security.

No country performs perfectly on the WPS Index and the results reveal wide
disparities across countries, regions, and indicators. The WPS Index offers a
tool for identifying where resources and accountability are needed most to
advance women’s status - which benefits us all.

The WPS Index is published by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and
Security and the PRIO Centre on Gender, Peace and Security with support from the
Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

GOING BEHIND BORDERS

The WPS Index relies on national averages, which paint a broad picture of
women's status across countries. But national averages conceal variation within
country borders. This year, we explored the findings of subnational analyses for
Colombia and Ethiopia, with subnational index scores that capture how women's
inclusion, justice, and security vary by location within each country (33
departments in Colombia and 11 regions in Ethiopia).
