How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for women rights and equality. 100 means strong legal equality, effective protection and practical autonomy; low values indicate legal barriers, unsafe conditions or weak enforcement.

The calculation combines eight components: 27% women safety, 23% gender-equality data, 18% legal and freedom context, 9% rule of law, 8% personal freedom, 6% political expression, 5% religious and worldview freedom, and 4% conflict and safety context.

The public source families are World Bank Women, Business and the Law, OECD SIGI, UN Women legal-framework data, UNDP gender data, OHCHR/CEDAW context, V-Dem and maintained Nomadino indicators on safety, freedom and rule of law.

The indicator rates women rights separately so they do not disappear inside broad freedom scores. Mobility, work, property, family, protection from violence, political participation and real enforcement count together.

The rating equals the rounded raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
