The report aims to provide insights into gender-based disparities and track progress toward equality over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indias_Overall_Ranking_and_Performance\"><\/span><strong>India\u2019s Overall Ranking and Performance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 2025 index, India ranked <strong>131st out of 146 countries<\/strong>, slipping from its <strong>127th position in 2024<\/strong>. This decline indicates a regression in gender parity, particularly in areas like political empowerment and health.

However, it ranks higher than <strong>Maldives (138th)<\/strong> and <strong>Pakistan (148th)<\/strong>.
