Thomson Reuters Foundation reached out to hundreds of experts who focus on women’s issues, including development workers, journalists, academics, and health providers.
These experts were asked to name the most dangerous nations for women, according to six separate categories. On three of the different measures—sexualized violence, human trafficking, and “culture and religion”-based violence—India won the dubious honor of coming in first, and #USA also made the list.
World leaders vowed three years ago to eliminate all forms of violence and discrimination against women and girls by 2030, allowing them to live freely and safely to participate equally in political, economic and public life. But despite this pledge, it is estimated that one in three women globally experience physical or sexual violence during their lifetime. Child marriage is still rife, with almost 750 million women and girls married before their 18th birthday, resulting in teen pregnancies that can put their health at risk and limiting schooling and opportunities.
