Top Ten Worst Countries for Women

The organization CARE, through its Norway branch, released a list of what it concludes are the ten worst countries for women. Here's the list, most of which will be no surprise:

1. Afghanistan

2. Somalia

3. Congo

4. Sierra Leone

5. Niger

6. Yemen

7. Bangladesh

8. Mali

9. Burkina Faso

10. Guinea-Bissau

It's difficult to ignore the fact that 9 out of 10 of these countries have something in common. They are all majority or overwhelmingly Islamic. The lone exception is Congo. The article gives the criteria for why these countries were chosen as the worst places in the world for women. No doubt there were plenty of other contenders as well. Also worth noting is that these countries aren't exactly paradises for men either. Being a male, destitute, starving farmer in Bangladesh might be better than being a female resident, but it's still not good.

  2. I don't think that there is so much as you are exaggerating. Women in Islamic country have live a happy life with company of other women. Yes, it is a complete different world but women are happy even in Afghanistan after the fall of taliban . The only difference between a western and a strict Muslim girl is that they dont mingle with men. Can that be a reason for their unhappiness? I think the condition of females are worst in western cuntries where every women is looked like a toy of pleasure.

  4. No one ever said that women in these countries cannot be or were not happy. We are simply saying that statistics show that these countries have the highest recorded rates of violence against women. The sad truth is that in many such countries women suffer in silence. Just because you may not know of anyone who is a victim does mean it does not exist. Your neighbour could be a victim but you may never know if she doesn't tell you. Also, and I'm not saying this to knock traditional wear of Muslim women, (I happen to think there's nothing wrong these garments)if a woman does have scars on her body you won't be able to see them cause they would be covered up by these long garments. Just keep an open mind and know that the next time a woman passes next you she may be a woman suffering in silence.

  6. The condition of females is not worse in western countries where women are looked at as ¨toys of pleasure¨in fact, I have seen this kind of thinking very frequently in islamic propaganda which is very biased.

    The study above accurately describes the amount of violence women experience in muslim countries. they have measured different statistics, such as the amount of domestic violence against women or right of women to avoid forced marriage. Also, please note that there is also a list of best countries for women, and while most of those are in europe, not all of them are. There are several developing countries where women are much better off than in wealthier muslim countries like saudi arabia or the UAE like Cuba and Barbados.

    And these women are not any more of a ¨sexual object¨because they wear less covered clothing than lets say, a woman in egypt that is married off at the age of 14 or 15 to a 50 year old man.
