If you’re a woman, you’ll know exactly how it feels to have to walk somewhere at night, to constantly be looking behind you and in corners that you think someone could be hiding, and even double checking that your car is locked every time you have to stop at a traffic light.
No country is entirely safe, but a group of women have concluded that these 15 countries are some of the safest they have visited.
