The Thomson Reuters Foundation survey of about 550 experts on women’s issues has ranked Afghanistan the second highest country while Syria was given the third position which was shared by the only western nation to be in the list, the United States. The top 10 dangerous countries list has Somalia and Saudi Arabia at number 4 and 5.

The 2011 survey had Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India, and Somalia as the most dangerous countries for women to reside in. Thereafter, India has become the most dangerous country in the latest survey. Karnataka government official, Manjunath Gangadhara was noted as saying that India has been disrespectful and degradable towards woman as the rape, marital rape, sexual assault, female infanticide and harassment cases have increased unabated in the country. It has become world’s fastest growing economy and leader in space and technology but is shamed for violence committed against women.
