Philippines ranks 61^st in gender equality list

The Philippines placed 61^st out of 144 countries in the 2022 SDG Gender Index by Equal Measures 2030. The index provided a snapshot of where the world stands on gender equality with respect to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to achieve a decent quality of life for all and a healthy environment by 2030. On a scale of 0 to 100, where 100 would indicate a country has met the gender equality target for that issue, the Philippines scored 69.8 in 2020, up 1.1 points. This was above the 2020 global average score of 67.8. However, the report noted that no one among the 144 countries in the index fully achieved the promise of gender equality envisioned in the SDGs.
