The index, which ranks 177 nations according to factors including women’s participation, justice, and security, revealed Seychelles to be the highest-ranked nation in Africa, with Ghana not far behind.
The top 10 list also included Cape Verde, South Africa, Mauritius, Tunisia, Rwanda, Botswana, Tanzania, and Sao Tome and Principe, respectively, each recognized for their efforts in ensuring safety and security for women.
