Pakistan falls to 146th in World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index, worsening women's conditions and prompting calls for reforms.

Pakistan has fallen to 146th place on the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index, ranking just above Sudan. This represents a decline from its 142nd position last year and highlights worsening conditions for women in the country. Women's rights activists are calling for urgent reforms in both state and societal structures to address persistent gender disparities. The latest drop in Pakistan's ranking is primarily due to setbacks in political empowerment, despite slight improvements in educational attainment.
