Unlocking Women’s and Girls’ Potential: The status of women and girls relative to men and boys in Guinea
Evidence shows that Guinean women and girls face important barriers across all dimensions of well-being that prevent them from having access to opportunities on an equal footing with men. The poor agency of women and girls, as reflected in the high prevalence of discriminatory legal and social norms, translates into gaps in health, education, employment, and entrepreneurship, ultimately undermining their capacity to fulfill their potential and imposing important societal costs. This report presents a summary of the key challenges facing Guinean women and girls relative to men and boys. The report has a particular focus on early family formation, a common phenomenon in the country with important implications for girls’ and women’s well-being and opportunities in life. On the basis of this diagnostic and a review of evidence of what works, the report proposes some strategic lines of action to address the existing constraints and effectively empower Guinean women.

Tout tend à prouver que les femmes et les filles guinéennes sont confrontées à des obstacles importants dans toutes les dimensions du bien-être, ce qui les empêchent d’avoir accès aux opportunités sur un pied d’égalité avec les hommes. Le manque de libre arbitre des femmes et des filles, comme en témoigne la forte prévalence de normes juridiques et sociales discriminatoires, se traduit par des écarts en matière de santé, d’éducation, d’emploi et d’entrepreneuriat, ce qui finalement sape leur capacité à réaliser leur potentiel et impose des coûts sociétaux importants. Ce rapport présente un résumé des principaux défis auxquels sont confrontées les femmes et les filles guinéennes par rapport aux hommes et aux garçons. Le rapport met particulièrement l’accent sur la formation précoce de la famille, un phénomène courant dans le pays avec des implications importantes pour le bien-être et les opportunités des filles et des femmes dans la vie. Sur la base de ce diagnostic et d’un examen des données relatives à ce qui fonctionne, le rapport propose quelques lignes d’action stratégiques pour remédier aux contraintes existantes et émanciper efficacement les femmes guinéennes. 2023-05-10T15:08:06Z 2023-05-10T15:08:06Z 2023-05-10 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099050423114031515/P17565805af6560c80b4b20827c1828af36 https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/39798 English en CC BY-NC 3.0 IGO https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/igo/ World Bank application/pdf text/plain application/pdf text/plain application/pdf application/pdf Washington, DC |

Evidence shows that Guinean women and
girls face important barriers across all dimensions of
well-being that prevent them from having access to
opportunities on an equal footing with men. The poor agency
of women and girls, as reflected in the high prevalence of
discriminatory legal and social norms, translates into gaps
in health, education, employment, and entrepreneurship,
ultimately undermining their capacity to fulfill their
potential and imposing important societal costs. This report
presents a summary of the key challenges facing Guinean
women and girls relative to men and boys. The report has a
particular focus on early family formation, a common
phenomenon in the country with important implications for
girls’ and women’s well-being and opportunities in life. On
the basis of this diagnostic and a review of evidence of
what works, the report proposes some strategic lines of
action to address the existing constraints and effectively
empower Guinean women. |
