Modern agencies conducted research in more than 150 countries and determined the quality of living conditions for women. Well, women living there since childhood are brought up without rights and within the framework of a significant gender gap, so they get used to living in an unjust world.
Consider 10 countries that are in the ranking of the most unsuitable for living female.
10. Nigeria
The country is not economically developed enough, therefore, living conditions and income per person do not ensure the normal prosperity of citizens. Only 17% of women of puberty (15-24 years old) have the opportunity to study and get an education. This is due to the fact that in the country it is customary to marry a girl as early as possible, and gives birth to 20% of them annually. Uncontrolled fertility among young girls leads to early deterioration of the body and psyche, the development of diseases amid poverty and poor living conditions. Therefore, Nigeria took the last place in the ranking of countries fit for women.
9. Pakistan
The attitude towards a woman in the country is extremely dismissive - her personality is depressed, often does not have the right to have her own desires. For example, in some areas, men can rape women as punishment for their husbands' misconduct. Feminization of the population is not allowed at all. The country's religious extremism destroys women politicians, as well as workers in the justice and law enforcement agencies. In families, a woman is often subjected to physical violence, as there is no adequate law to prevent this. Yes, and women whom husbands are allowed to work receive on average 80% less from the state than men - this is the distribution of wages by gender.
8. Mali
The state is considered one of the poorest in the world, as well as socially disadvantaged for women. They rarely manage to avoid circumcision shown, depriving the girl of the opportunity to experience sexual pleasure. The state has not created a regulatory law that allows a woman to make decisions on her own health issues. Also, girls are forced into early marriage and the birth of children, which leads to high mortality during pregnancy and childbirth - up to 10%. With regard to education, a third of girls do not even finish primary school. In politics, no more than 9% of women are allowed, and then they are humiliated by men. The per capita income in the country is predominantly $ 2 per day.
7. Iraq
Earlier in Iraq, women were literate enough, but the situation has changed dramatically over the past three decades. The number of literate and working women has fallen sharply - religious leaders prescribe them a special position in home and marriage, but the law does not regulate rights and freedoms. For example, the country's prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, has still not allowed women to take up senior government posts. According to the UN 8 years ago, 20% of Iraqi women are victims of domestic violence. And in 2012, it became known that more than a third of married girls are subjected to violence from their husbands.
6. Democratic Republic of the Congo
The country is one of the most promising in Africa and has the potential to become rich thanks to impressive deposits of natural resources. However, as a result of the inept leadership of the DRC, it remains the least developed - about 7.5 million people live below the poverty line and are desperate for humanitarian assistance and charity. The war in the eastern regions has taken the lives of more than 3 million citizens, including many women, because they are obliged to fight on the front lines. They are also attacked and abused by warring entities. According to statistics, more than a thousand citizens are raped daily. More than half of pregnant women have a disease associated with a lack of hemoglobin in the body. And women do not have the right to sign documents without the permission of her husband.
5. Sudan
In this state, a third of women aged 15 to 49, according to the survey, sincerely believe that a man has the right to beat his wife in certain circumstances. Early marriages are also practiced in the country - about 34% of the girls surveyed reported that they had married before they came of age. Sudanese women were able to reform some laws, but in the western part of the country their situation remains difficult. Since 2003, for example, rape, forced transfers and abductions have taken more than 1 million lives of citizens.
4. Yemen
The rights of the female population are oppressed in the country, and the issue of education is acute. Parents marry girls already from the age of 7, so there can be no talk of school. About 26 million women and girls are at risk of violence from men, and 52 thousand may be victims of rape. At the same time, women have no right to divorce their monster husband, nor do they receive an inheritance and custody of joint children.
3. Central African Republic
For five years now, public education has been involved in armed confrontation, against the background of which cases of violence against women often erupt. The average length of education for children is 7 years. Women are represented in the government by only 12.5%, which is too small to lobby for laws protecting their rights.
2. Syrian Arab Republic
We all know about an organized military conflict that has been going on for more than 7 years in Syria. A bloody and cruel period makes the republic unsuitable for a quiet stay and the realization of motherhood. Women and children regularly die in terrorist acts, and all this happens against the backdrop of a humanitarian crisis. The reality of this country is manifested in cruel torture, violence, rape, insufficient quality of food and water. The oppressed position of women and their lack of rights in the state is growing.
1. Somalia
According to the UNICEF report, 95% of girls aged 4 to 11 undergo a non-human female circumcision procedure, which makes it impossible to have a full sexual life. In parliament, women hold no more than 7.5 seats, which leads to a crisis of legislative protection of their rights. In medical institutions, an average of 9% of women can give birth, while the rest go through often unsanitary home births without the participation of a trained medical worker. Mortality of a woman and a newborn increases several times in comparison with developed countries. In the capital of the state of Mogadishu, a civil war also dragged on, there has been a surge in crime, which increases the risk of physical violence and rape of women.
In the above countries, a woman cannot fully realize her potential, loses the opportunity to develop as a person, a professional, and even a mother. At such moments, you understand that the economic crises of our country are nothing compared to a life filled with fear, illiteracy and the specific form of domestic slavery.
