| description | The initial idea for this compendium
came out in 2016 of a collaboration between the Legal Vice
Presidency and the Education Global Practice at the World
Bank on the role of law to end child marriage. The
discussions took place within the context of a global study
being conducted by the World Bank and the International
Center for Research on Women on the economic and social
costs of child marriage with funding from the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation and the Children Investment Fund
Foundation, as well as additional support from the Global
Partnership for Education under a grant for work on out of
school children. In 2022, the Empowering Women by Balancing
the Law (EWBL) initiative of the Legal Vice Presidency of
the World Bank decided to update and upgrade the first
edition of the Compendium. The EWBL aims to advance gender
equality through substantive legal contributions to promote
gender inclusivity in the law. It is rooted in the
conviction that gender equality and equity under the law are
preconditions for enabling women’s full participation in
society and for countries to achieve tangible development
outcomes. However, to date, billions of women and girls
worldwide face systemic barriers due to outdated and
discriminatory laws that hinder their rights and
opportunities. This Compendium can participate in the
protection of women and girls’ fundamental rights and the
promotion of strong, peaceful, and just societies, as well
as to the achievement of mission to end poverty and promote
shared prosperity. This Compendium is limited to 194
countries (54 countries in Africa; 44 countries in Asia; 14
countries in Oceania; 23 countries in North and Central
America; 12 countries in South America; and 47 countries in Europe). |
