10 Countries In The World That
Are Unsafe For Women.
We have come a long way and still, there are countries that
are unsafe for women. We keep talking about women empowerment, women’s safety but
I just wonder if it really works. A woman is still afraid to step out of the
house after 6pm. You can call your country a progressing or developed country
but if a woman is still not safe, then it’s a major concern. A number of cases
related to rape, domestic violence, acid attacks are getting registered
everyday across the world and only a less number of people are truly concerned
about this.
Here are the 10 countries that are
unsafe for women. Take a look!
1.
Colombia
The rate of acid attacks in Colombia is very
high. And around 45,000 cases of domestic violence were reported in 2015.
2.
Afghanistan
Afghan
girls have always struggled for their freedom. As per the stats, 54% of girls
aged between 15- 19 are married. Cases of domestic violence are again a big
concern in the country.
3.
The
Democratic Republic of Congo
According to
a survey, 1150 women are raped every day in the democratic republic of Congo
4.
Pakistan
Forced marriage, domestic violence, orthodox
thinking are the biggest threat to a woman. More than 1,000 girls and women are
victims of ‘honor killings’ each year
5.
India
Rape,
child marriage, acid attacks are one of the most common crimes women in India. According
to reports, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. Female travellers
from US, UK, Australia, and Canada keep inform9ing the travel agencies of
respected countries about how unsafe they feel when they visit India.
6.
Somalia
High
rates of mortality, rape and child marriage put this country on the list of
most unsafe countries in the world.
7.
Egypt
A
lot of tourists have confessed that they have experienced sexual assault in
Egypt very often. In January 2014, there were 19 cases of mob sexual assaults.
8.
Kenya
Educational
prospects for girls are dreadful in Kenya. They are taught at an inferior level
to their counterparts. Even worse, HIV infection rates are more prevalent among
the female populace due to poor sex education
9.
Mexico
A
large number of tourist go to Mexico every year but there are certain places
where it’s completely unsafe for girls to travel alone and particularly at
night because of series of incidents where girls have been raped, robbed or
kidnapped
10.
Brazil
Brazil
has very serious and troubling statistics when it comes to a women’s safety. A woman
is assaulted every 15 second. It’s hard to believe that even after proper
education and awareness we have failed to provide safety for women. The Judiciary
system and government can decrease the rate of rapes and sexual assault if they
take this safety issue seriously.
