SIGI 2021 Regional Report for Africa
The SIGI 2021 Regional Report for Africa provides regional analysis on how discriminatory
social institutions, such as formal and informal laws, social norms and practices,
continue to constrain women’s empowerment and restrict their access to opportunities
and rights. It gives new evidence on the impact of these discriminatory social institutions
on three key dimensions of women’s empowerment across the region: their physical integrity,
their economic situation and their political voice, leadership and agency. The report
provides regional as well as thematic policy recommendations that aim to transform
gender norms, promote women’s empowerment and build a truly inclusive society, especially
in the current context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
