"Sub-Saharan Africa has been making remarkable strides towards achieving legal
gender equality. Between October 2021 and October 2022, seven countries in
Sub-Saharan Africa implemented positive changes that have had a profound impact
on women's participation in their economies."
"Notably, Côte d’Ivoire and Gabon emerged as trailblazers, enacting multiple
reforms that enhance women's access to employment and finance. These reforms
include the elimination of all restrictions on women's employment, the
introduction of legislation protecting women from gender-based discrimination
in financial services and domestic violence, and the mandate for equal
remuneration for work of equal value. For the first time, both countries have
achieved a score above 90 on the World Bank’s Women, Business and the Law
index, which measures equality of economic opportunity. A score of 100
indicates that women have equal rights as men, and countries scoring above 90
are typically associated with more developed economies."
