According to the Gender Vulnerability Index Kerala is one of the best states for women in India. The list topped by Goa as the best state for women. The index was prepared on the basis of four dimensions like health, education, protection, and poverty. Mizoram occupies the third position in the index prepared by Plan India, while Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are at the bottom.
Bihar is the worst in terms of health for women while the top three places were occupied by Kerala, followed by Tamil Nadu and Sikkim.
The national capital is the worst-performing state in terms of education for women, while the top three positions were occupied by Himachal Pradesh, followed by Sikkim and Punjab.
In terms of protection, Goa was the best state followed by Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir. Uttar Pradesh was positioned last in terms of women safety.
