Worst Places for Women

Papua New Guinea

Sounds like a cool place initially - 848 languages in one tiny area. Until you look at Human Rights.

Papua New Guinea - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Papua New Guinea is often labelled as potentially the worst place in the world for gender violence.[31][32] A 2013 study in The Lancet found that 41% of men on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, reported having raped a non-partner while 14.1% reported having committed gang rape.[33] According to UNICEF, Papua New Guinea - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia[34] while a report by ChildFund Australia citing former Parliamentarian Dame Carol Kidu claimed 50% of those seeking medical help after rape are under 16, 25% are under 10 and 10% are under 8.[35]

But...surprisingly it's not in the list of 10 worst countries to be a woman:

10 Worst Countries for Women in The Developing Word

10. Iraq
The US-led invasion to “liberate” Iraq from the hanged Saddam Hussain, imprisoned women in an inferno of sectarian violence that targets women and girls. The literacy rate, once the highest in the Arab world, is now among the lowest...

9. Pakistan
In some tribal areas, women are gang raped as punishment for men’s crimes. But honor killing is more widespread, and a renewed wave of religious extremism is targeting female politicians, human rights workers and lawyers. Last year the country saw around 1000 honor killings of women and girls...

8. India
Domestic violence in India is endemic and widespread predominantly against women. Around 70% of women in India are victims of domestic violence, according to Renuka Chowdhury junior minister for women and child development. National Crime Records Bureau reveal that a crime against a women is committed every three minutes, a women is raped every 29 minutes, a dowry death occurs every 77 minutes and one case of cruelty committed by either the husband or relative of the victim occurs every nine minutes. 50 million girls were killed in the past century in the practice of female infanticide or foeticide; around 100 million women and girls are estimated to be victim of human trafficking; 44.5 percent of girls are married before the age of 18...


7. Somalia
..95 percent of girls face genital mutilation mostly between the ages of 4 and 11; only 7.5 percent of parliament seats are held by women; only 9 percent of women give birth in a health facility...

6. Mali
...few women escape torture of genital mutilation. Many of them are forced into early marriages, and one in ten dies in pregnancy or childbirth....

5. Guatamala
The impoverished female under-class of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second highest rate of HIV/AIDS after Sub-Saharan Africa.

4. Sudan
...Abduction, rape or forced displacement has destroyed more than one million women’s lives since year 2003.

3. Democratic Republic of Congo
Women in the Congo face especially harsh realities; around 1,100 are raped every day. Since 1996, more than 200,000 rapes have been reported in the country. 57 percent of pregnant women are anaemic; women can not sign legal documents without their husbands’ authorization.

2. Afghanistan
The average Afghan girl will live to only 45 – one year less than an Afghan male. After three decades of war and repression, an overwhelming number of women remain illiterate in Afghanistan. Afghan girls are also discouraged, sometimes fatally, from seeking an education and Afghan rape victims can be forced, by law, to marry their attacker...More than half of all brides are under 16, and one women dies in childbirth every half an hour.

1. Chad
Women in Chad have very few rights. Arranged marriages are still common and often times the girls are around 11 and 12 years old.

Seems to me India is the only country on that list that will improve. I love this Bill Gates anecdote that puts the subjugation of women into perspective:

Bill Gates recalls once being invited to speak in Saudi Arabia and
finding himself facing a segregated audience. Four-fifths of the listeners
were men, on the left. The remaining one-fifth were women, all covered in
black cloaks and veils, on the right. A partition separated the two
groups. Toward the end, in the question-and-answer session, a member of
the audience noted that Saudi Arabia aimed to be one of the Top 10
countries in the world in technology by 2010 and asked if that was
realistic. 'Well, if you’re not fully utilizing half the talent in the
country,' Gates said, 'you’re not going to get too close to the Top 10.'
The small group on the right erupted in wild cheering."

The U.N. should issue personal sidearms to females worldwide. That's what those fuckers are for.

Human Trafficking

1. Approximately 75-80% of human trafficking is for sex.a
2. Researchers note that sex trafficking plays a major role in the spread of HIV.b
3. There are more human slaves in the world today than ever before in history.l
4. There are an estimated 27 million adults and 13 million children around the world who are victims of human trafficking.l
5. Human trafficking not only involves sex and labor, but people are also trafficked for organ harvesting.k
6. Human traffickers often use a Sudanese phrase “use a slave to catch slaves,” meaning traffickers send “broken-in girls” to recruit younger girls into the sex trade. Sex traffickers often train girls themselves, raping them and teaching them sex acts.l
7. Eighty percent of North Koreans who escape into China are women. Nine out of 10 of those women become victims of human trafficking, often for sex. If the women complain, they are deported back to North Korea, where they are thrown into gulags or are executed.h
   Approximately 30,000 victims of sex trafficking die each year
8. An estimated 30,000 victims of sex trafficking die each year from abuse, disease, torture, and neglect. Eighty percent of those sold into sexual slavery are under 24, and some are as young as six years old.j
9. Ludwig “Tarzan” Fainberg, a convicted trafficker, said, “You can buy a woman for $10,000 and make your money back in a week if she is pretty and young. Then everything else is profit.”l
10. A human trafficker can earn 20 times what he or she paid for a girl. Provided the girl was not physically brutalized to the point of ruining her beauty, the pimp could sell her again for a greater price because he had trained her and broken her spirit, which saves future buyers the hassle. A 2003 study in the Netherlands found that, on average, a single sex slave earned her pimp at least $250,000 a year.l
11. Although human trafficking is often a hidden crime and accurate statistics are difficult to obtain, researchers estimate that more than 80% of trafficking victims are female. Over 50% of human trafficking victims are children.l
