Women, Business, and the Law in 2024

Since its inception in 2009 by the World Bank, the Women, Business and the Law (WBL) initiative has been a cornerstone in the quest to dismantle legal impediments to women's economic empowerment across 190 economies. This initiative meticulously scrutinizes laws and regulations, championing reforms to eradicate discriminatory practices.
