Will Kazakhstan improve its position in the Women, Peace and Security Index in 2026?
According to the 2025 Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Index by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, Kazakhstan ranked 72nd out of 181 countries with a score of 0.722, placing it among the top performers in the CIS and ahead of Russia, Turkey, China, and Israel. The ranking reflects progress in women’s participation, access to justice and services, and overall security. With gradual institutional reforms and improving regional indicators, the question is whether this trajectory will translate into a tangible upgrade in the next global assessment.
