Chad is a Central African landlocked country. Women in Chad are the mainstay of its predominantly rural-based economy and they outnumber the men.

Female genital mutilation

According to a United Nations report of 1995, 60 percent of Chadian women had been subject to female genital mutilation. The procedure is a traditional rite of passage as a girl moves into adulthood and it is followed regardless of religious orientation. It is equally common amongst Muslims, Christians and animists. Those who attain adulthood without being mutilated generally avoid it for life.

Gender Gap Report

In 2012, the World Economic Forum ranked Chad among the worst regions in their Global Gender Gap Report.
