OECD Atlas of Gender and Development: European Platform of Women Scientists, 9 june 2010)

"The OECD Atlas of Gender and Development provides an innovative way of looking at sources of discrimination.

It presents a new composite measure of gender inequality: the Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI), developed by the OECD Development Centre, which examines women’s status in five key areas:

* Family code – early marriage, parental authority, polygamy and inheritance rights.
* Physical integrity – violence against women and female genital mutilation.
* Son preference – ’missing women’.
* Civil liberties – women’s freedom of movement and dress.
* Ownership rights – women’s access to land, property and credit.
