.That's an increase -- from zero -- compared to a decade ago, when the organization started measuring countries by how effectively they guarantee legal and economic equality between the genders. But the rate of progress means that, by CNN calculations, women won't achieve full equality in the areas studied by the World Bank until 2073.Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and Sweden scored full marks of 100 in the bank's"Women, Business and the Law 2019" report.
Michelle Obama: 'Lean in' doesn't always work 01:20The United States scored 83.75, placing it outside the global top 50. The United Kingdom achieved a score of 97.5, Germany measured at 91.88, and Australia scored 96.88."If women have equal opportunities to reach their full potential, the world would not only be fairer, it would be more prosperous as well," World Bank Group Interim President Kristalina Georgieva said.

IMF head Lagarde: Respect women and one another 04:11"Gender equality is a critical component of economic growth," Georgieva wrote in the report."Women are half of the world's population and we have our role to play in creating a more prosperous world. But we won't succeed in playing it if the laws are holding us back.
They want equal rights? Then why do they keep taking away our rights?
Ironically, Saudi Arabia sits on the UN commissions/committees: - status of women - gender equality - elimination of discrimination against women - human rights council There will still be those that tell you the UN is a legitimate governing body. LOL
Women in USA have more rights than men! We’ve gone overboard here !🙄☠️
As a woman in America, I've never felt that my rights were less important than a man's. In fact, I remember turning eighteen and not having to sign up for selective service. That's one of the privileges of being a woman-being able to avoid the draft.
It's shameful for women that we have still countries in the world like Saudi and other middle east countries that their women don't even have the right to go out without their husband permission
This needs to change.
trannys can not play tennis and when they try people freak out and say if they have not already transitioned they should be castrated so america is unequal in my opinion you look at everything from the female viewpoint so you assume gender relations are good but they are not.
Denmark wouldn't let the Queens husband have the title King. But the future Kings wife will be Queen. That's not equality.
That is sad

It would be nice if the US stepped up and gave White Men some respect.
The United States ranked outside the top 50 in equal rights for men and women? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 GTFOH!
I have every right a man has...if not more!
Could someone tell me what rights women do not have in the USA? (And BTW you are paid what you're worth & how hard you work so no need to play the underpaid card)
If would be nice if someday men had equal rights, then we’ll be free.
Because banks know about social issues.
The world bank is corrupt to no end and is about to be dismantled. Not a good source.
Ohh.. I didn't know that.
Complete and utter BS
All the far left people need to go live in another country so they can realize how good they have it here.
Even if the US paid women and men the same, there is still the trans xy 'women' who are pushing xx woemen out of sports and no one cares about how.biologically wrong this is.
To curb this the Olympic committee will now allow biological men to compete as women...
Dear Acosta jaketapper, can you please help me out I might be reading this wrong? yesterday: It's scary how easy Donald Trump is ready to sign a deal with the North Korean regime. today: Donald Trump failed to sign a deal with North Korea. CNN Is Fake News
But let’s not forget after women got the right to vote came prohibition...... just say
And? Next time someone disagrees that this is the greatest country to live in despite it’s faults tell them to move to one of those countries
We will fight to make the US the seventh.
Men should stop being afraid of women. We've been in charge since the dawn of civilization, and yet men cry about needing 'men's rights' while women, even in 1st world countries are largely unprotected from us. That's really pathetic.
But women shouldn't have rights
recognition and acceptance maybe the demand of nature
Our biological men like to play women sports so NO we are not equal that way.
Interesting that the World Bank would be the ones analyzing this
Is the term 'human' sexist 🤔
This calls for a tune. Kindly google Ten Years After. ' I Would Love to Change The World. & Crank it up..
Who cares what the World Bank has to say? Global Elites trying to control the peasants.
As usual the Globalist sh$t all over America.
Lol, cnn is so pathetic. In the US all laws apply to everyone equally. Everyone has equal rights.
What do women want? They want to be the sequal Final chapter, last episode Treated special by their equal … … … … … … … … … … … … …
'The United States scored 83.75, placing it outside the global top 50.' GOPWinning
We are such an awful country yet CNN also begs migrants to allow them an opportunity to make it in the best country in the world
Maybe one day the USA can be one of them.
Hahaha women have equal rights in America they just want equal outcome! Look ladies you’ll need to major in mechincal engineering instead of gender studies to make the big bucks. That’s capitalism
That’s insane! We didn’t even make the top 50!!!
There are no equal rights as long as men can buy GHB.
We can do so much better than this! Together we can accomplish anything, divided we are powerless!
This garbage was bullshit earlier when it was posted and it still is. It's like you're trying to lose people's trust.
We still have a long way to go. Sad.
What a joke.
G
USA is one of them. But if you listen to democrats you’d think this was a terrible country.
How can we be the “leader of the free world” and not be on this list?
And they always protest in the countries that give them rights...
It’s just Islam... and religion overall.
Look giving women equal rights sounds like a great idea, but we have to think about the downsides and the impact on the economy, etc.
Six too many
POTUS is working to take rights away from women.
