https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/25/health/india-dangerous-country-women-survey-intl/index.html

India is the most dangerous country in the world to be a woman because of the high risk of sexual violence and slave labor, a new survey of experts shows.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation released its results Tuesday of a survey of 550 experts on women's issues, finding India to be the most dangerous nation for sexual violence against women, as well as human trafficking for domestic work, forced labor, forced marriage and sexual slavery, among other reasons.
It was also the most dangerous country in the world for cultural traditions that impact women, the survey found, citing acid attacks, female genital mutilation, child marriage and physical abuse. India was the fourth most dangerous country for women in the same survey seven years ago.


The world's most dangerous countries for women
According to the survey:

1. India

2. Afghanistan

3. Syria

4. Somalia

5. Saudi Arabia

6. Pakistan

7. Democratic Republic of Congo

8. Yemen

9. Nigeria

10. United States

This is stupid. The US is not even close to the Top 10. I can name more than 5 other countries that are a lot more dangerous:

- Egypt
- Morocco
- Brazil
- Kenya
- Turkey
- Venezuela
- Colombia
- Mexico

The foundation's survey was conducted after the #MeToo campaign emerged in October 2017. The large number of women alleging sexual misconduct since then is the reason the US has been included on the list.
"The United States shot up in the rankings after tying joint third with Syria when respondents were asked which was the most dangerous country for women in terms of sexual violence including rape, sexual harassment, coercion into sex and the lack of access to justice in rape cases. It was ranked sixth for non-sexual violence," according to the foundation.

OK, while it's terrible the harassment women face in the US, there's no way it compares to Syria which is a war zone that ISIS was in.

I wonder how these American women would fare in an actual third world war zone where women are violently gang raped on the regular. Suddenly getting hit on by men you find unattractive doesn't seem as bad in comparison.

Apparently the MeToo movement shot up the placement for the US.

But that's just acknowledging and recognising something that has always happened. Surely it's worse for women if it wasn't acknowledged at all. Which I'm sure it isn't for a lot of third world countries.

That would be a good point if it wasn't for the fact that this ranking is comparing all of the countries and not just listing countries that feature crimes against women.

Apparently they only ranked... the top 10 countries? I want to know who 11 and 12 are. Obviously the US is the only Western country in the top 10 and that makes it by default worse, by this metric, compared to the other Western countries... but just how much worse?

"We put the US on the list because of how many people responded to #MeToo".

Ok, so obviously the countries where it's socially taboo to even bring it up are more progressive?

It's really sad.

The backlash against victim blaming is a ridiculous concept. You absolutely should do whatever you can to protect yourself. No amount of telling 300 million people "murder is bad" is going to make you safe.

I'm willing to accept this, but I am curious as to what the list would look like if it were expanded to 50 or 100.

When you have several hundred countries, and US is ranked 9 below India, I'd love to know what kind of scale they're using here. <_<
