Denmark tops the Women, Peace and Security Index 2025/26 for women's inclusion, justice and security, while India sits 131st among 181 countries with a score of 0.607. The index credits Nordic nations with strong public institutions, social welfare systems and lower levels of violence against women. They also lead in education, workforce participation, financial inclusion, legal protections and political representation. For India, reports flag women's safety, political leadership, jobs and legal outcomes as the gaps. The lesson from the top is clear: women's wellbeing depends on stable institutions and equal opportunity, not on any single law. (PC: X)
