Women’s Economic-Opportunity Laws Only Half-Enforced Globally
Even if the laws were fully enforced, women would still enjoy barely two-thirds of the legal rights of men. Legal experts surveyed estimated that laws that encourage full economic participation by women are only half-enforced, indicating that governments have a long way to go. Even as they make progress in establishing new equal-opportunity laws, economies on average have in place fewer than half of the policies and services needed for enforcement. Only 4% of women across the world live in economies that provide nearly full legal equality. Egypt was the world’s top reformer over the past two years, increasing its legal equality score by nearly 10 points.

The disruption at Phebe Hospital has ignited fresh concerns regarding the stability of public healthcare in rural Liberia. Collectively, the defense of the new legislative reforms and the firm stance against the Phebe Hospital protesters place the Boakai administration at a significant governance crossroads.

Patients At Risk :

Liberia: Lofa Group Proposes Mining Ownership Model for Wologizi
The Lofa Senior Professionals Group (LSPG), with support from the Lofa County Legislative Caucus, on Thursday, February 19, 2026, hosted a daylong orientation workshop on a proposed 10-year roadmap for the development of the Wologizi Range. According to the Deputy Minister, the objective is to move away from a system where foreign companies acquire exploration licenses with minimal capital, leverage them to raise funds abroad, and eventually extract significant profits with limited national ownership. Providing an overview, a member of the Lofa Senior Professionals Group, Mr. Ounzuba Kemeh-Gama, a technology professional, explained that the initiative was independently conceived by Lofa professionals seeking to rethink how natural resources can better serve national development. The workshop provided participants the opportunity to review the roadmap, offer technical input, and ensure that any future development of the Wologizi Range prioritizes transparency, national ownership, and sustainable economic growth. The group says the initiative represents a new vision for resource sovereignty and inclusive industrialization, positioning Lofa County as a potential model for responsible mineral development in Liberia.
