February 24, 201511 yr My family and I were going to spend a month touring Paris and London, but have cancelled the trip knowing these cities are on the list. I see that Syria is not including on the list, so instead we have chosen to spend 4 weeks in the paradise capital city of Damascus. So it`s not all bad.
February 24, 201511 yr This is the full list: 1. Bogota, Colombia 2. Mexico City 3. Lima, Peru 4. New Delhi 5. Jakarta, Indonesia 6. Buenos Aires, Argentina 7. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 8. Bangkok 9. Moscow 10. Manila, Philippines 11. Paris 12. Seoul, South Korea 13. London 14. Beijing 15. Tokyo 16. New York Paris? London? NYC? Tokyo????? Hard to believe. What about Glasgow? There are reports of rape nearly every day.

Hard to believe. considering that tokyo is one of the safest cities in the world as reported on the net one month ago. Why does Tokyo need Women-Only train carriages?
February 24, 201511 yr Bangkok number 8, LUCKY NUMBER in Asia. There's a sticker on Wechat, with "8 8", which means "Bye bye"
February 24, 201511 yr A Thomson Reuters Foundation global poll of experts in 2011 identified the world's five most dangerous countries for women: 1) Afghanistan 2) Democratic Republic of Congo 3) Pakistan 4) India 5) Somalia Using compiled using data from the Thompson Reuters Foundation, the World Report 2014, and the Foundation for Sustainable Development in 2014, five more countries were added to the Reuters list above: 6) Columbia 7) Egypt 8) Kenya 9) Mexico 10) Brazil
February 24, 201511 yr Absurd. I wouldn't trust my wife in the streets in most major US and European cities aline at night. Bangkok ahead of Manila? Lol. Much of Africa is safer than Philippines.
February 24, 201511 yr When I posted an article similar to this...my posting privileges were taken away!...?
February 24, 201511 yr So Syria, Iraq and Libya would be OK then, and Saudi Arabia as long as they were accompanied by a US president and didn't want to drive a car. War zones isnt counted (Syria, Libya and Iraq) as places to travel at all.

February 24, 201511 yr Besides the M.East, there are none in Africa. Flawed list and/or flawed criteria. In most African cities, if a visiting woman is not raped, it's unusual.
February 24, 201511 yr There was another survey recently that had Seoul as the safest place - and I can believe that. I can only guess that Bangkok is in the list because of handbag snatching? But for real danger Mexico takes some beating as a risky tourist spot.

It looks like some stupid desk writer who has not seen any of these cities threw the dice and then made up this list. Best forget it quickly and put this editior (or idiodor) on your private black list.
February 24, 201511 yr This is sexist.. only concerned about where is dangerous for women.. What I need to know is where are the most dangerous place for male travellers..
February 24, 201511 yr Bejing? Dangerous? The chi coms know how to deal with criminals. Bullet to the head. Which I fully support. They execute corrupt public officials all the time.
