World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
Complementary
Strengthened multi-sector efforts to dismantle discrimination, racism and gender-based violence.
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

Social norms, traditional gender stereotypes and unequal power relations which normalize and justify discrimination, racism and violence are deconstructed.
The advocacy efforts encompassing message promotion, campaigning, strategic partnerships with key stakeholders, and interagency collaboration have significantly contributed to dismantling entrenched social norms, traditional gender stereotypes, and unequal power relations. These efforts aim to challenge and eradicate the normalization and justification of discrimination, racism, and violence against women and girls. The heightened visibility of digital violence, especially impacting women with public voices, has been successfully amplified through collaborative campaigns by various UN Agencies and partnerships with the Ombudsman office. This concerted effort has positively influenced public opinion, leading to the approval of Ley 27736, known as Ley Olimpia, which officially recognizes digital modalities as gender violence.

This initiative not only contributes to fostering inclusivity but also plays a pivotal role in challenging and discussing social norms that perpetuate discrimination against women.Disclaimer and notes
