Women in many countries have a hard time. Where patriarchal traditions reign, the fair sex is often deprived of all rights, subject to systematic humiliation and violence. In our ranking of the TOP-10 countries where it is dangerous to be born a woman.
Syria
The war in Syria has left the country in decline. The fight against ISIS and the conflicts within the State have caused suffering for women and children, who are the first victims in military conflicts. Men harass them and rape them regularly.
Guatemala
This country remains a unique territorial unit with an ancient and distinctive culture, but dangerous conditions for women. Guatemala is literally inhabited by criminals, robbery, murder and violence are everywhere.
Nigeria
The huge African state, one of the most densely populated in the world, is not the best place for the female population. The scourge of Nigeria is rape, AIDS and domestic beatings. Most of the country is under the control of a terrorist group. Here they are forced into prostitution.
Sudan
Drought, civil wars and lack of economic stability. As a result, women in Sudan are victims of violence and beatings. They are subject to strict requirements for their appearance due to the Muslim religion.
Mali
A poor country in which economic and social powerlessness reigns. Husbands can take possession of their wives' property before marriage, even if the marriage contract is signed. Women are engaged in hard physical work and often suffer from poor health due to poor quality of medical care. High fertility rates and early marriages, female circumcision before the age of ten and other humiliations.
Pakistan
Political and economic powerlessness against women, the creation of conditions in which women cannot get a job and education, the traditional punishment from relatives if they decide that a woman has become a disgrace to the family are dire signs of Pakistan. The main problems are domestic violence and revenge of rejected men.
Somalia
War and the lack of laws, chaos and anarchy over the past 40 years have made Somalia one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Women are deprived of the opportunity to receive education, high rates of maternal mortality and female genital mutilation add to the already sad color.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Only Congo is worse than Somalia in Africa. Women are at the epicenter of social and economic problems here. The country is the leader in the number of rapes - up to 500 thousand women a year - plus the lack of access to medicine and education.
India
Reality is not as beautiful as Indian cinema. Regular incidents of rape, difficult access to education and poor quality of health care. Indian women regularly go to rallies against violence, but the problem remains intractable.
Afghanistan
The leader of our TOP, a dysfunctional state and dangerous conditions for the life of women. Lack of access to education, terrible medicine, high mortality during childbirth and the sad practice of early marriages from 12-13 years old.
