The Safety topic enforcement perception score measures the extent to which laws on protecting women from gender-based violence are enforced in practice. It is calculated as the unweighted average of the indicator scores in the topic and then rescaled to a 0–100 scale, where 0 represents the lowest possible score and 100 the highest possible score. For indicators that correspond to a partially scored legal frameworks indicator, a weighted approach is applied. For details on underlying questions and scoring assumptions, please refer to the WBL Methodology Handbook (link: https://wbl.worldbank.org/content/dam/sites/wbl/documents/2026/WBL-Methodology-Handbook-2026-FINAL.pdf).
