The global pace of reforms toward equal treatment of women under the law has slumped to a 20-year low, says a new report by the World Bank.

In the report titled ‘Women, Business and the Law’, released on Thursday, the World Bank said the “reform fatigue” constituted a potential impediment to economic growth at a critical time for the global economy.

“Governments can’t afford to sideline as much as half of their population. Denying equal rights to women across much of the world is not just unfair to women; it is a barrier to countries’ ability to promote green, resilient, and inclusive development.” According to the report, worldwide, nearly 2.4 billion women of working age still do not have the same rights as men.
