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.
Population:209,497,025

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.

The competent State institutions improve their capacities to prevent and provide care for women, girls, and adolescents who are survivors of violence, including better and greater access to comprehensive protection.
Local governments and communities strengthen their capacities to prevent and respond to violence against women, girls, and adolescents.
Civil society women's organizations and survivors of violence have greater capacities to demand their rights to essential services, comprehensive protection, justice and transformative reparation, as well as to promote processes of prevention of violence against women, girls, and adolescents through cultural changes and social norms.
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).

Although the level of impact described has not been reached, 2022 was a year to look at tangible results from the work carried out by UN Women through the Spotlight Initiative to prevent and respond to Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Honduras. At the national level, the new Equity and Equality Plan was developed under the leadership of the Secretariat for Women's Affairs. The plan constitutes the policy that governs the obligations of all government institutions in the area of gender equality. UN Women supported the socialization of the plan with civil society and government actors at the local level, and participated in its participatory validation. At the legislative level, a draft law proposal has been prepared to prevent the disappearance of girls, adolescents and women, guaranteeing their protection, protection and well-being. The law known as Purple Alert, was developed through a highly participatory process in which justice operators and women's and feminist organizations, as well as government officials, members of the Inter-Institutional Commission for Monitoring the Investigations of Violent Deaths of Women and Femicides (CISIMVMF), contributed to the elaboration and validation. The Purple Alert includes replicable processes identified in the Knowledge and Learning Mission carried out at the end of August in the State of Mexico, in which 15 people from the CISIMVMF participated. UN Women coordinated the process of drafting and socializing the proposed law, as well as the exchange of experiences with Mexico. Civil society has improved coordination mechanisms to design innovative and comprehensive strategies to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls. The Spotlight Initiative has contributed to promoting processes for the exchange of experiences and systematization of good practices among civil society organizations for their replication. On the other hand, it has contributed to knowledge management through the preparation of strategic studies such as the Study of Social and Institutional Tolerance towards Violence Against Women and Girls, which provides evidence-based arguments for intervention in favor of changing social norms that favor violence against women and girls. Another great achievement was the mobilization of a new project with the INL for 3 million dollars, for a period of 3 years, that will allow to focus efforts in 3 of the 5 municipalities where Spotlight was implemented with two key components: prevention and response to VAWG.Disclaimer and notes
