SIGI 2019 Global Report
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
Over the past decade, the Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) has consistently
shown that governments need to look at discriminatory laws, social norms and practices
to achieve gender equality and promote women’s empowerment. This 2019 global report
provides an overview of the main outcomes of the SIGI in relation to women and the
family, their physical integrity, access to productive and financial resources and
their civic rights. Building on these outcomes, this report provides a set of policy
recommendations to enhance governments’ efforts to deliver their gender-equality commitments
through a three-pronged approach: starting with legal reforms and transformative gender
policies, enforcing laws through community mobilisation and empowerment, and learning
about the efficiency of policy through monitoring.
