A new study by the Thomson Reuters Foundation has revealed that India is the most dangerous country in the world for women. The study is based on a survey of 550 experts on women's issues. The criteria included healthcare, discrimination, cultural traditions, sexual/non-sexual violence and human trafficking.
After a female student was raped and murdered on a bus in Delhi five years ago, the fight against violence against women in India a national priority. Experts have now realised that the country is not moving fast enough to eliminate the dangers to women, as rape, sexual harassment/molestation and female infanticide are still at alarming levels.
The war-ravaged countries of Afghanistan and Syria ranked second and third in the study, while 10th place is certainly a surprising addition. According to experts, the United States makes it into the top 10 list of the most dangerous countries for women because the #MeToo and Time's Up campaigns have dominated the headlines and media coverage for months.
