India has been ranked the most dangerous country for women by a global survey conducted as per the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Questions are being raised at women safety measures taken by the central and state government after the survey report. The poll was conducted by consulting 550 gender experts from across five continents to compile a list of the most dangerous countries for women. Afghanistan and Syria were second and third respectively, Somalia takes the fourth and Saudi Arabia, the fifth position on the list of five most dangerous countries for women. Women in India are at a high risk of being thrust into trafficking and forced labour for purposes of sexual slavery, domestic work and even forced marriages, states the survey report, as per the report. In its report, the foundation has cited the high risk of sexual violence among other things as to why India has topped the list. High probability of women being forced into human trafficking in India which sheds light on how law enforcement and judiciary have failed to tackle the menace. India ranked at number one with respect to trafficking in the previous report seven years ago. “World leaders vowed three years ago to eliminate all forms of violence and discrimination against women and girls by 2030, allowing them to live freely and safely to participate equally in political, economic and public life. But despite this pledge, it is estimated that one in three women globally experience physical or sexual violence during their lifetime,” the foundation said. -PTC News
