Women’s rights index
Very High
1. Saranidia
Details:
Women are politically empowered, are not discriminated against in employment and are treated in a gentlemanly way.
Discrimination against them is illegal and they have full human rights.
There are still a handful of misogynists though.
1. Estainia
Details: unlike Saranidia where men and women are seen as different but equally important,
Estania is a matriarchy.
Voxija
(Awaiting description)
2. Eternal Lotharia
Details:
Representation of women in positions of power is broadly proportionate.
They are under-represented in senior military roles but simply because they disproportionately choose religious leadership over military leadership.
They are treated as being of equal worth to men and also in an especially protective way.

Valentine Z:
Women have roughly equal access to jobs and have all basic human rights.
High
3. Samudera Darrusalam
3. Amazighland
( awaiting commentary)
Agantrop
Representation in most high positions is broadly equal,
Issues however exist in the distribution of land ownership.
Women have human rights but are denied the protections of chivalry by their constitution.
American Israeli Empire
Details: the equal value of men and women is promoted as is chivalry.
Women are conscripted but not forced to fight.
The elite jobs are broadly equal.
Shventailanka
Details: women’s representations in elite jobs is broadly representative to their proportions in the population.
However, government opposes chivalry towards women.
Bolslania
(Awaiting description)
The Alliance of Independent Systems
Moderate
Saralonia
Details: women are protected from discrimination by law, however, employment discrimination still apparently exists given the representation of women in elite jobs.
Furthermore chivalry towards women is not supported by the government.
Polish Prussian Commonwealth
Details: most women have equal human&political rights however in succession laws there is still discrimination.
Hamdiye
Details:
Democratic Exodian Territories
Details:
Women appear to be discriminated against in employment and they have never had a female head of state. Women do however have human rights.
Low
Estado Novo Portugues
Details:
Whilst the government claims that they treat men and women as equally important(but different) in practice women are prohibited from driving, holding political office and travelling freely as well as from being doctors, senior academics and lawyers.
Munkcestrian Republic
Details: despite some semblance of chivalry and the existence of female headteachers, women cannot vote or drive and are also prohibited from working as government ministers, police officers or judges.
Very low
Arachkya
Details: women are disadvantaged and oppressed in every conceivable area of life.
This partly is due a reaction against a previous, matriarchal regime.
Victorious Decepticons
Details: Women’s rights (along with the rights of all humans) do not exist.

by **Amazighland** » Tue Dec 03, 2019 2:13 pm

Has your nation ever had a female head of state: Unfortunately, no.
Has your nation ever had a female head of government: Still, it's a unfortunate no.
Percentage of women in the population: 48%
Percentage of women in...
Senior military officers: 26%
School headteachers/principals: 46%
Legislature or equivalent: 50%
Judges: 46%
Police officers: 38%
Cabinet ministers: 47%
Senior academics: 55%

CEOs: 46%
Major landowners: 71%

Percentage of women in the prison population: 38%

Percentage of women amongst victims of murder: 49%

Percentage of women amongst victim of sexual crime: 65%

Are the punishments for crimes with predominantly female victims less severe than the punishment for other crimes of similar harm and blameworthiness?: No, the court and criminal justice system is very egalitarian, basing judgement on people as a person, rather than man or woman. This goes for both the victim and the perpetrator. However, there are minor "gaffs", aka, harsher judgments for male offenders in local courts, but this is very much not the norm.

Average Sentence for violent/sexual crimes with female victims: 0,5-4 years of "Prison" Rehabilitation if the crime is violent. 1,5-5,5/6 years of "Prison" Rehabilitation if the crime is a single sexual offence.

Average sentence for violent or sexual crimes with male victims: 0,5-4 years of "Prison" Rehabilitation if the crime is violent. 1-5 years of "Prison" Rehabilitation if the crime is a single sexual offence.

Does your nation support chivalry towards women?: No, it does not. A egalitarian society such as the one in Amazighland can not exist if half the population is given special treatment based solely on their gender.

Does your nation support gender equality? Yes, it does. This goes hand-in-hand with the Amazighland's egalitarianist doctrine. There are extensive programs to promote the equality of men and women and their diversity as individuals and talented persons.

Are there any laws that only apply to women(if so, what are they)?: Yes, there are certain auxiliary protections for women, primarily on the labour market: these are maternity leave and regulation for the employment of pregnant women.

Are there any laws that only apply to men(if so, what are they): No.

Do human rights laws apply to women?: Yes, lol.

Other relevant policies and/or laws: Maternity leave is often considered "parental leave" in general, so men are not excluded from the benefit of receiving money while tending to one's child at home. It is just that parental leave is primarily requested by child-rearing mothers.

average sentence for violent or sexual crimes with male victims: Depending on severity, flogging in the public forum, assignment to a labor camp/facility, up to death, are all possibilities. Most infractions are covered by public flogging.
Does your nation support chivalry towards women?
Yes, in the extreme.
Does your nation support gender equality?
No, gender is by definition, not equal. Women are not prohibited from pursuing a career or serving the State, but they are heavily discouraged from doing so with social ostracizing and a set of social expectations that encourage them to be mothers and home makers. Women who choose to defy social convention are not punished by the state, but they tend to live isolated and lonely lives.
Are there any laws that only apply to women(if so what are they)?:
There are a number of laws regarding proper dress that apply to women. Women are not allowed to wear clothes that reveal too much.
Are there any laws that only apply to men(if so what are they):
There are Male dress codes as well, and a number of criminal codes that really only get used on Men. Women may be sentenced to death or imprisonment, but are exempt from corporal punishment.
Do human rights laws apply to women?: "Human Rights," dont really exsist in my Nation. There are Civilian and Citizen rights, but no one has any rights just for being human.
Other relevant:
Marriage is permanent in the COSS with divorce allowed only in extreme circumstances. Adultery is punishable by death for anyone, male or female, found engaging in such activities. Premarital sex is considered a form of adultery, but may be punished less severely than marital adultery depending on the age of the participants and the severity of the acts committed.

by **Estado Novo Portugues** » Tue Dec 03, 2019 6:31 pm

Has your nation ever had a female head of state:
No, and it never will. The Holy Catholic State of Portugal is a theocracy jointly ruled by the Pope and the Civil Director. By definition, the Pope can only be a man because Roman Catholic priesthood is a requirement, and the Church does not ordain women. In addition, women may not hold any political office.

Has your nation ever had a female head of government:
No, and it never will. Women may not hold any political office.

Are the punishments for crimes with predominantly female victims less severe than the punishment for other crimes of similar harm and blameworthiness?:
no

Hard labor and corporal punishment (caning).

Yes. Men are expected to hold the door for women, and pay the check at restaurants. There is also a "women and children first" rule on ships in case of emergency.

Does your nation support gender equality?
Portugal is a very traditional society. Men and women have different responsibilities (men: business and politics, women: motherhood and domestic work) but they are both considered equally important.

Are there any laws that only apply to women(if so what are they)?:
Women may not work in government or military jobs (except teaching, nursing and hospitality), own businesses, drive cars, study in universities, or travel abroad (unless accompanied by their husbands). In addition, women may not be sentenced to death for common crimes, but may still be executed for offenses against the Church (heresy, blasphemy, sacrilege, etc.).

Are there any laws that only apply to men(if so what are they):
Military service is compulsory for all male citizens (except those working in government jobs, or only sons with no brothers).

Do human rights laws apply to women?:
Other than the mentioned restrictions, women have the same rights and responsibilities as men. But this is an authoritarian (even fascist) right-wing dictatorship, so don't expect too much freedom for anybody.

Other relevant policies and/or laws:
Abortion is illegal and considered a serious crime like murder. Hospitals are required to investigate all miscarriages for any possibility of abortion.

Percentage of women amongst victims of murder: 27%

Percentage of women amongst victim of sexual crime: 67%

Are the punishments for crimes with predominantly female victims less severe than the punishment for other crimes of similar harm and blameworthiness?: Not usually, The Orosian Justice System strives to be impartial with criminals, but overall, Orosian judges are slightly harsher when the victim of crime is female, a position that has been met with controversy.

average Sentence for violent/sexual crimes with female victims: upwards of 30 years in incarceration and rehabilitation, possible exile or deportation, placed on database of violent/sexual criminals

average sentence for violent or sexual crimes with male victims: upwards of 27 years in incarceration and rehabilitation, possible exile or deportation, placed on database.

Does your nation support chivalry towards women? No, West Leas Oros considers chivalry an obsolete concept that harms the agency of Orosian men and women alike. It is widely regarded as a harmful system tied to classist rhetoric.

Does your nation support gender equality? Yes, insofar as the Orosian government argues that no Orosian stands above another in inherent merit, and that the value of an Orosian is based on their contributions and the consequences of their actions.

Are there any laws that only apply to women(if so what are they)?: No, The Orosian Government considers that laws are to be held universally to all within Orosian borders.

Are there any laws that only apply to men(if so what are they): No, see above

by **TURTLESHROOM II** » Wed Dec 04, 2019 1:54 pm

Has your nation ever had a female head of state:

The first turtle monarch in TurtleShroom was a Queen. Up until 1919 AD, most turtle monarchs in TurtleShroom were female. There was not a human head of state until the twenty-first century. He was male.

The last female head of state and the last Queen of TurtleShroom, of any species, died in office in the year 1919 AD as a Chancellor following the dissolution of the monarchy in 1912 AD. However, every Majestic Twelve (the pool from which the heads of state are drawn by lot) has had females on its candidacy. TurtleShroom's heads of state were selected by sortition from twelve candidates, so this is entirely connected to the luck of the draw. No female head of state has been drawn since then.

Has your nation ever had a female head of government:

See above. The Crown is both the head of state and government.

Percentage of women in the population:

Turtle population: seventy percent (due to tropical climate)
TS White humans: forty-two percent
Oriental humans: nearly a fifty-fifty split
Other races: varies from forty to fifty percent

Percentage of women in...

Senior military officers: Aproximately thirty-three percent for humans, seventy percent for turtles. The lower the brass, the more females present. However, the greatest TurtleShroomer generals of the nineteenth and twentieth century were female humans.
School headteachers/principals: Approximately thirty-two percent for humans, sixty-three percent for turtles (assistant principals, where they exist, have vastly higher female rates)
Legislature or equivalent:
Currently N/A.
Of five hundred Senators of all species in the final Congress (approximately around 2012 AD), one hundred were female. The Glenn Party's (one of the largest and oldest parties) mushroom chairman resigned after the Civil War. Taking his place was Fannie Kickbuttshard, a female human and longstanding Party Whip. Human females were likewise disproprotionately represented in party offices. Furthermore, several partisan officers (e.g. whip) and leadership roles were held by females.
Judges:
All non-specialized judges in TurtleShroom are elected. Turtle judges are overwhelmingly female (eighty-four percent) and human judges are overwhelmingly male (eighty percent). Female humans are de facto prohibited from serving as divorce circuit judges, which are a separate organ of the judiciary and consistent almost entirely of clergy.
Police officers:
The second-most powerful creature in the Ministry of the Police is Agni Badwell, who is seen as a sure-in for the office of Constaple On Patrol, which is the country's highest police official. Human beat cops are almost entirely male, but higher ranking cops, bureaucrats, and especially Internal Affairs are more female than male. Females tend to work with white-collar crime. Females overwhelmingly make up the social services, DFACS, and pretty much anything working with children before the law.
Cabinet ministers: N/A. The Executive Cabinet is currently under a transitionary body following a bloody Civil War.
Senior academics: The percentage varies widely depending on the degree, the major, the subject, the context, and more. Some fields have few, if any females, while others have an equal split.
Religious leaders:
For mainstream Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic Christians, the nuber is zero. Non-humans are barred from being fully ordained Christian clergy. For Taiping heretics, thirty-six percent. For Yue Pagans, one hundred percent. For Tengris, forty percent. Other religions vary greatly.
Lawyers:
TurtleShroomers are traditionally taught law, court procedures, and a basic course akin to law school before they graduate high school. Most TurtleShroomers, regardless of sex or species, can represent themselves adequately at court.

Professional TurtleShroomian lawyers generally serve as advisors and guides to the defendants that represent themselves. When human professional lawyers do exist and act independnetly, they are almost exclusively male. In criminal cases, lawyers are almost never called: the police itself dispatches a prosecutor that is also a policeman and not a lawyer. These policemen-prosecutors are majority female.

Outside of criminal cases, female humans almost never argue in court unless they are representing themselves; however, female humans are predominantly the clerical workers, law clerks, and so on in the background.
Doctors: It depends on the profession, but there are more female human doctors than men overall. A majority of medics in TS are female. The largest human female share in medicine are gynecologists, midwives and birth coaches, wet nurses, and so on, the total of which is almost ninety-nine percent female. Large numbers of human males were never in any nursing positions for as long as TurtleShroom has existed, so the human nursing percentage is nearly ninety-seven percent female. A baby must be delivered before witnesses, including a doctor, but the doctor does not usually preside over the actual birthing of the baby.
CEOs:
The extreme diversity of TurtleShroomian corporate structures, the lack of any real regulation on corporate organizing, and other such factors mean that the office of CEO does not always exist. This diversity is so great that no survey of female CEO's has ever been taken.

However, the largest and wealthiest corporation in TurtleShroom has an all-female executive board. Only the CEO, Bessford Bee, is a male, and he is both TurtleShroom's tallest and richest creature.
Major landowners: Almost all major human female landlords in TurtleShroom are widows, siblings who cooperated with brothers, pooled/mutual fund investors, or heirs. In inheritance, land ownership is pretty much always divided on an exact proportion where all females stand in line with the males based on true cognatic seniority. No laws exist limiting purchases of land based on sex.

Percentage of women in the prison population: Twenty percent for human females. About fifty-fifty for turtles.

Percentage of women amongst victims of murder: Seventeen percent for human females killed by all other species of sapient life in the country. Among turtles murdered by other turtles, females make about one or two percent. Among turtles murdered overall, females make up about half.

Percentage of women amongst victim of sexual crime: Ninety percent.

Are the punishments for crimes with predominantly female victims less severe than the punishment for other crimes of similar harm and blameworthiness?: No, the opposite is true.

Average sentence for violent/sexual crimes with female victims: For rape, death or life in prison. For child molestation and pedophilia, death or life in prison. For lower crimes, see the definition of vice in TurtleShroom.

Average sentence for violent or sexual crimes with male victims: Rape requires penetration. Under TS law, a female human of the age of majority cannot rape a male human of the age of majority; . This is instead called "Grand sexual assault", and lists when a female coerces, blackmails, etc. a man into getting her penetrated, etc., and is punishable by up to life in prison. This is rarely, if ever the sentence handed down. Death cannot be applied in grand sexual assault. The assaulter is usually sterilized and/or given a hysterectomy. For lower crimes, see the definition of vice in TurtleShroom.

Does your nation support chivalry towards women? Not only is this encouraged, it is enforced and most schools are mandated to teach it. The Church echoes this matter as well, more strongly than the state. A human male mistreating or dishonoring a human female is considered a particularly outrageous dishonor and will be aggressively punished if it breaks the law.

Does your nation support gender equality?

TurtleShroom's only anti-discrimination law that applies to the private sector (as long as it is not a life-critical service like food, police, fire, medicine) is sex-related. Unlike every other qualification, an employer must have a reason when he chooses not to hire a female creature over a male one. That reason is almost exclusively laid at the feet of female humans being weaker or more emotional than male humans. The former is almost always granted, the latter depends drastically on the situation and is rejected in many fields oujtright. Female humans cannot have a separate standard applied to them: to get into a job that has a test (be it physical or otherwise) they must pass a man's test the same as a man.

Do human rights laws apply to women?:

All "pure", organic, sapient life is equal before the law in TurtleShroom, regardless of sex or any other demographic. ("Impure" refers to chimeras.)

Females and males of all species maintain the same rights as each other. All females can own land, found businesses, invest and hold money, make legal decisions for themselves and others, stand for inheritance, drive and hold a job, and everything else. Females can initiate a divorce with the same reasons a male can and have a higher chance of getting custody, alimony, and other benefits (e.g. child support) if they are the faithful party in the divorce. (No-fault divorce is illegal in TurtleShroom and the law specifically favors the party that is not, or is less, at fault.)
