"Human rights are much better protected in all world regions than a century
ago, according to data by Varieties of Democracy.

This recently updated chart shows an index that captures human rights. The
index ranges from 0 (least rights) to 1 (most). As you can see, every world
region scored significantly higher in 2023 than 100 years ago.

Although progress has not been steady, and there have been setbacks — including
in recent years — the overall improvements have been substantial. These trends
remain when giving more weight to countries with larger populations.

While progress has been made in all world regions, there are still big
disparities across them, with Africa and Asia lagging behind. And the strong
protections on other continents show that further global progress is possible."
