The 16 most dangerous places for female travellers

Featured Replies

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.

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?

Bangkok number 8, LUCKY NUMBER in Asia.

There's a sticker on Wechat, with "8 8", which means "Bye bye"

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

They forgot the most dangerous town in the world for women - Rotherham, UK.

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.

When I posted an article similar to this...my posting privileges were taken away!...?

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.

This list is more believable.

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.

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.

This is the full list:

1. Bogota, Colombia

2. Mexico City

3. Lima, Peru

4. New Delhi

5. Jakarta, Indonesia

6. Buenos Aires, Argentina

New York safer than Tokyo? 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.

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..

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.

its got to be true, i made it up myself.
