A new report reveals the 15 most dangerous countries and the 15 safest countries for women travelers.
The United States ranks seventh on the list as one of the most dangerous countries for women. In its report, SafetyDetectivesfor women in the United States, and the results are chilling. According to SafetyDetectives, one in three U.S. women fall victim to physical violence, rape and/or stalking by an intimate partner—and the figure is even higher for lesbian women, bisexual women, transgender people and women of color.
According to SafetyDetectives, while the report is based on data, it is flawed in some ways. A chilling revelation: “It should be noted that data for crimes is based only on officially reported cases,” says Haun. “As these kinds of crimes often go unreported—from sexual abuse and sexual assault in the U.S. military to the murders of trans women—we can assume that the actual number of occurrences is higher in all countries.
Also important to note: “Just because a given country has laws in place to protect women, that doesn’t mean the laws are necessarily working,” says Haun. “They may not be enforced or followed—so while our ranking does provide insight into where women are safest on paper, it may not accurately reflect their actual safety. One example of this is Cambodia, where women are legally protected in theory, but much less so in reality.
