Kazakhstan ranked first among Central Asian countries in the Women, Peace and Security Index (WPS Index) 2025. The ranking assesses progress in women's rights, their participation in peacebuilding processes, and protection from violence.
This recognition reflects the republic's policy toward gender equality and social security. Kazakhstan stands out among its regional neighbors on this indicator.
Kazakhstan ranked 72nd out of 181 countries in the global Women, Peace and Security Index 2025/26, leading Central Asia with a score of 0.722 points. The index assesses the situation of women across economic inclusion, legal protection and security.
Kazakhstan's high regional ranking may influence the attraction of international investment and grants aimed at countries with better gender equality indicators. For women, this means the republic remains a relatively safe place to work and live compared to neighbouring countries, but the 72nd global position points to the need for further improvement in legal protection and economic opportunities.
