10 Countries Where Women Are The Most Unsafe
No matter how forward we move and how progressive we may appear, some things just don’t change!
The attitude towards women is one such thing that hasn’t been changed or worse still
has even deteriorated in certain civilizations.
Where on one hand women are aspiring to conquer the world on their own, some people see women
as nothing more than a conquest!
You may be living in the most advanced part of the world, but hostility may still find
you.
Confused?
While there may be hundreds of ways to be badly affected by the world, it is easier
when you are traveling to the ‘not so progressive’ section of the society!
So ladies before you pack for your next trip, know the countries where you’ll be risking
your neck, alert: this might lead to change of plans!
Number 10.
Japan Whoa!
What is such a safe country doing on this list?
Uhmm, a lesser known fact about Japan is witnessing an increase in the number of sexual assaults!
Groping in crowded areas and trains had become so common that they had to introduce female
only carriages in trains!
If you are a foreigner in the country, be extra vigilant because there is a high chance
that you are seen as an exotic beauty and might be groped, stalked or verbally abused!
That sounds so unlike the country we have always read about but yea, women aren’t
safe even here!
Number 9.
Jamaica Now the ultimate holiday destination with
its warm weather and inviting beaches might have to be struck off from your bucket list!
Even though dressing conservatively isn’t a norm here, women can’t be very relaxed
here.
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the vacation altogether?
The American tourists often face a lot of sexual assaults in Jamaica and the most shocking
thing is that in most of these cases the perpetrator was from the staff of the resort!
Now women aren’t even safe in the resort, let alone crowded market places.
This won’t do much good to Jamaican tourism!
Number 8.
Egypt If ancient pyramids attract you, Egypt is
definitely the place to visit but be extra cautious throughout your trip if you are a
woman!
There is an ever increasing problem of sexual assaults in the country, be it the locals
or the tourists, both are equally attended to, and we mean in a WRONG way!
With less police on the streets, chances of being groped are higher and if you make an
eye contact with someone, they might take it as a sign of your interest!
Why else do you think women are always wearing sunglasses while out in public?
Fully covered clothes- check, sunglasses- check, covered head- check; now you are ready
to roam around in Egypt!
Number 7.
Mexico With so much drug dealing going on, you can’t
expect it to be very safe in general, let alone for women!
Though drug related violence is restricted to only a few areas, you can’t still be
sure about your safety!
If that is not enough, mugging and kidnapping are also pretty common so there is a high
chance that your folks are getting a call for ransom!
Oh we went too far, that might not happen but dragging you to a nearby ATM and forcing
you to withdraw cash can happen, it’s an everyday thing over there!
Oops, did we scare you too much?
Number 6.
India From the culture to languages to dresses,
so much variation in a little country, surely a nation of diversity!
But all is not sweet and nice here, the problem of sexual assault is no more under the wraps
so you probably aren’t surprised by this country’s presence on such a list!
Be it public transport or crowded markets, women aren’t safe anywhere and if you are
a foreigner wearing a mini skirt, you have to be on high alert!
The introduction of all women carriages in trains was a much required step and you must
use them every time possible if you don’t want random strangers to feel you up!
Number 5.
Saudi Arabia If you are a woman from the west, we advise
you to not pack your most loved minis in your travel bag when your tickets to Saudi arrive!
Moral policing about how women should ideally be dressed while on the streets will leave
you covered in a black cloth head to toe so what point getting your sexy bodycon numbers
on the trip?
If that is not enough, terrorism is at an all-time high so you might not want to buy
a return ticket in advance, you know just in case you do not exit the country, ALIVE!
On the flip side, you might have a gala time and sing ‘Get out alive’ by Three Days
Grace on your way back!
Number 4.
Brazil Gorgeous coasts and long unending roads often
tempt travellers to hire a car and get set for a road trip!
But that should be the last thing you attempt in that country if you have the slightest
of love for yourself!
Cases of people get shot on the streets have come up many times, you definitely don’t
plan that for your vacation, right?
Poverty levels are very high in some parts of the country which push the residents towards
crime and violence so you can well imagine if you are a woman from another country, wandering
off the streets alone what good will these people do to you!
Number 3.
Somalia If you go by the warning from the US State
department then there is no way you are traveling to this country turned graveyard!
There is utter chaos in the country, a complete absence of any law and order and the looming
threat of terrorist attacks!
You might be walking the streets exploring the city when you meet a person and bamm,
the man blasts into tiny pieces, oh and you too!
If nothing of that sort happens, being a woman puts you at a risk of sexual assault.
When their own women are going through genital mutilation by the age of 11 and getting raped,
being a tourist isn’t going to save you!
Number 2.
Turkey You aren’t questioning Turkey’s presence
on this list after the numerous terrorist attacks that the country has seen!
Nobody wants to return home in a bag as little pieces!
Okay that was harsh but then bomb blasting does not make it to anybody’s vacation plan
whatsoever!
Amid so much violence you very well can imagine the plight of women, they are an easy target
and thus may be manhandled and assaulted sexually as well taking benefit of the chaos.
If harassment is out of your ‘bearable’ zone, then a visit to Turkey needs extra vigilance!
Number 1.
Venezuela Going by the statistics, on an average 80
people are killed every day in this country, do you still fancy going there?
Violence of every sort prevails but women in particular need to be extra cautious because
sexual assaults on tourists and locals are increasing exponentially!
That’s not the only scare in this country, human trafficking is a big business here and
none of us want to expand it by giving our services!
So women if you shudder at the mere thought of being sold and bought like an object, be
very alert while you are holidaying in Venezuela!
Which of these countries would you permanently delete from your bucket list being a female
traveler?
