2. Afghanistan

In Afghanistan, while girls and women have made progress over the past two decades, males are still far more likely to hold jobs, have savings and passports, and enjoy a higher social status, which makes it easier for them to flee Kabul when resources are scarce. The average income of a woman in Afghanistan is 16% less than that of a man, according to data from 2021. Moreover, only 27% of parliamentary members are female.
