Women can vote, and hold public office. They have a governmental cabinet position that deal's with women's issues. There' plenty of oppurtunity for women in the workforce there, and around 40% of women are in the workforce. They sent female athletes to the Olympics.

LGBT issues are still there though.
Overall, the country has been progressing.
