The most dangerous countries to be a woman, mapped
USA the tenth most dangerous country for women?? Not great company in that list.

The story smacks of sensationalism for the sake of sensationalism. It may even be an example of "fake news".The most dangerous countries to be a woman, mapped

The story doesn't truly identify the study, nor the researchers, nor their sponsor. It doesn't describe the methodology of the study, nor the criteria used to establish the rankings, although it does make an imprecise reference to "550 experts on women’s issues".
I am intrigued by the comment,
"The inclusion of the US as the 10th most dangerous place in the world for women is a surprise for experts.
The #MeToo and Time’s Up campaigns against sexual harassment and violence put the only western country on the list."
In other words, the U.S. landed on the list because it is one of the few countries where such things can be voiced and discussed in public! In many countries, the attitude of "blame the victim" is so firmly entrenched that anybody participating in "#MeToo" would be publicly shamed into silence.
I am NOT suggesting that the U.S. is the most favorable place to be female. We are still working to bring some long-standing laws and ideals into practice. But putting the U.S. right behind Nigeria suggests that somebody, who wants support for some pet agenda, either stuffed the ballot box or hired a Kangaroo Court.
Short of listing all 550 people, this is what you get. Mr. Trump is roundly despised by this sector, so I'm sure this is a factor as well as some outrage that a country that should be one of the best places in the world for women to live, clearly isn't. If it was a study showing failure to achieve expectation, you would be No.1. Perhaps that is the point.
I don't believe it. That is a wide net they're using, and for sure the USA has prevalent problems with the issues they're tracking, but I cannot trust the accuracy of such a list that does not have China near the top.
Good luck even getting born as a female in China, let alone treated equitably. Women are getting kidnapped in China and adjacent countries to be forced into marriage, it's one of the top countries for human slavery, etc etc.
I don't get why the inclusion of the US was a “surprise” for experts if the report was based on a poll of those experts? It's quite badly reported. Here's the actual poll The world’s five most dangerous countries for women 2018 and the entry on USA The world’s five most dangerous countries for women 2018"The report was based on a survey of 550 experts on women’s issues who found that the country is the worst nation in terms of sexual violence against women, human trafficking for domestic work, forced labour, forced marriage and sexual slavery.
The poll was conducted between March and May with experts from Europe, Africa, the Americas, South East Asia, South Asia and the Pacific.
Respondents included aid professionals, academics, healthcare staff, non-government organisation workers, policy-makers, development specialists and social commentators."

If you asked this question last year I would say no. How ever the world is changing. I am A first responder, I love my job. I am blessed to get up every morning I work. I think the world is just as dangerous for some men as it is woman. Especially with this nut job living in Washington, the Saga never ends. Overdoses - guns - walls - weather....
Blah blah blah
Better or worse I know as a female I don’t have to look far to see someone else in a worse situation.
