Human rights in the Maldives

Human rights in the Maldives, an archipelagic nation of 523,787 people off the coast of the Indian subcontinent, is a contentious issue. In its 2024 Freedom in the World report, Freedom House declared the Maldives "Partly Free." The United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor claims in their 2012 report on human rights practices in the country that the most significant problems are corruption, lack of religious freedom, and abuse and unequal treatment of women.
