According to the Democracy Index, Afghanistan was the least democratic country in the world in 2022. Countries are given a score from 0 to 10 with scores closer to 10 meaning the country is more democratic. Myanmar followed behind, with North Korea in third. After the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in 2021, the room for political opposition has been shut, and the civil and political rights of girls and women in the country have shrunken severely.
