Which of the following gives 'Global Gender Gap Index' ranking to the countries of the world?

A
World Economic Forum
Correct Answer
B
UN Human Rights Council
C
UN Women
D
World Health Organization

Explanation

The Global Gender Gap Index is published annually by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to measure gender parity across four key dimensions: economic participation, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. While UN Women is a major global advocate for gender equality, it focuses on policy implementation and programmatic support rather than publishing this specific comparative ranking. This question tests the candidate's knowledge of major international reports and the specific global organizations responsible for tracking socio-economic indicators.
