Indonesia has moved up three places in the 2025 Global Gender Gap Report, ranking 97th globally. The report highlights progress in women’s health and protection, with cross-sector initiatives driving change. The country’s improved position reflects ongoing efforts to close gender gaps in economic participation, political empowerment, and education.
The report underscores the role of government policies and private sector collaboration in advancing gender equality. Indonesia’s ranking shows continued commitment to addressing disparities, though challenges remain in areas such as legal protections and workplace equity. Experts note that sustained investment in women’s rights is essential to maintain momentum.
The 2025 report evaluates 146 countries based on four key indicators: economic participation, political empowerment, educational attainment, and health and survival. Indonesia’s rise is attributed to increased female workforce participation and greater representation in political leadership.
International observers emphasize the need for continued policy support and public awareness campaigns to further reduce gender disparities. The findings offer a snapshot of progress but also highlight the complexity of achieving full gender equality.
