The SafetyDetectives Takes A Look Women’s Safety Around the World

The research team at SafetyDetectives just updated one of their past studies, where they explore countries around the world to see which are the safest and most dangerous for women, in terms of the number of crimes committed against them and the laws protecting them.

Key findings at a glance:

  • On average, 80% of women are victims of sexual harassment at some point in their lifetimeFurthermore, 1/3 of women around the world have experienced physical and/or sexual violence
  • According to their research, the top most dangerous countries for women are South Africa and Sweden. On the other hand, the safest countries are considered to be Japan, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Just in the United States data shows that, 50% of native women have reported being stalked while 56% have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime.
  • In the EU, 43% of women have endured psychologically abusing or controlling behavior from their partner.

Ultimately, violence against women is not a geographically isolated phenomenon; it’s a problem all over the world, even in places that are relatively safer than others. And even those of us who do feel safe have a moral responsibility to help those that do not, for any reason and at any time.
