    The only group I know of trying to quantify womens rights internationally as a whole is here: https://giwps.georgetown.edu/the-index/

    Iran ranks 140 / 181 which isn’t great, but could be a lot worse. Education is a factor, but Iran loses points elsewhere. The most notable item related to this headline is probably employment percentage which sits at 14.8% (Highest in group is Qatar at 65.5%). For negative impact, the reported stats on domestic violence and related items are worth reading into.

      Qatar is dubious however, as of their 2.6m population only 300k are citizens and the rest are indentured migrant workers, so naturally there will be a lot of women in “employment”.

        Qatar is probably creating some interesting demographics. It is vaguely implied that data is restricted to citizens but can’t find where that’s directly clarified so who knows. You could compare outside the group with Denmark (The overall #1 spot) at 77.9% or the United States at 71.2% and China at 57.7%.
