A woman can apply for a passport in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator evaluates the equality of access to passport application processes for women compared to men, reflecting broader societal norms and legal frameworks governing gender rights. By determining whether women face additional requirements, restrictions, or bureaucratic hurdles in securing a passport, this measure sheds light on the overall status of gender equity in administrative practices. Recognizing the significance of mobility and travel in fostering economic opportunities and social participation, this indicator serves as a critical barometer for assessing progress toward gender parity. An affirmative response signifies enhanced legal frameworks that support equal rights, while a negative response uncovers systemic challenges that may hinder women's autonomy and freedom of movement in society.
